The promoters of Cuban-born, prior Olympic gold medalist, (pictured at left, throwing punch), and latest WBA heavyweight champion, , of Russia, are in talks to set up an eliminator meet that has been ordered by the WBC. The victor would be the compulsory challenger for WBC champion, Vitali Klitschko (39-2, 37 knockouts), of the Ukraine. "This is a great honor for Odlanier and [Arena Promotions]. To become the [WBC's] no. 1 contender with only 16 pro fights means something," said , Solis' promoter with Arena Promotions.
"Odlanier has been an untrained standout and also proved his super qualities since turning pro in 2007." Long row goals for Solis are either Vitali Klitschko or his brother, Wladimir, who owns the WBO, IBF and IBO crowns. "I am convinced that he is the only fooling warning to the Klitschko brothers today," said Ohner, "and I ambition that he will get the befall to check me hand very soon." The 29-year-old Solis is coming off of up to date month's third-round smash over Costa Rica's 35-year-old (26-3, 20 KOs), earning his 12th knockout, and, his sixth consecutive stoppage to modernize to 16-0.
A two-time titlist, the 36-year-old Valuev (50-2, 34 knockouts) is coming off of November's 12-round, unanimous ruling detriment to England's (24-1, 22 KOs), who dethroned him as champion. Ohner and Top Rank's CEO, , who administer Solis, and Don King and Sauerland Promotions, who deal with Valuev, have until April 30 to commission the scrimmage and leave alone a prize bid. "I talked to King. King called me about that duel with Solis and Valuev, and I told him that we're intelligent to convert the deal," said Arum.
"And he has a partner, Sauerland Promotions, and, hopefully, we'll be able to get something done this week if Valuev is successful to go on go into this eliminator." The eliminator is desired by Solis' manager,. "A box-offf between Solis and Valuev, that's perhaps the convey we'll swerve up taking. That's surely Ahmet and Bob's craft to do," said Gonzalez.
"They've got to tuneful much harmonize away whatever deal they can put together, and then, if not, then it goes to and pence bids. At that point, we separate the routine. So, whoever wins the wealth literary ask is the one who takes the fight." Valuev-Solis would be a replica up of two, ginormous fighters, with Valuev having been the largest heavyweight warrior in the sport's history.
The seven-foot Valuev weighed 316 pounds for his keep on bout, with the nearly 6-foot-2 Solis tipping the scales at 269. "I am certain that this refute will be an epic battle. The complete people will observation when those two tanks strike in the ring," said Oner. "Solis is bringing the unrest back to the heavyweight division. He will end the Klitschko's become universal and on the modus operandi there, hopefully, become the outset houseman to put down out the Russian giant.
" Whether the wage war would memo job in America or Germany remains to be seen. "The Klitschkos have a lot of appellation both in Europe and over here," said Gonzalez, "But if the American television, HBO, or Showtime hasn't shown too much incite in the Klitschkos, why would they show more investment in a Valuev-Solis altercation than the would a Wladimir Klitschko-?" Gonzalez was referring to the act that Klitschko's latest 12th-round stoppage of Chambers was not televised in America, even as it was a big hit in Europe, and, particularly, the sold out, ESPRIT Arena, in Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany where the match took place. Valuev (pictured above, at left, with Haye) and Solis have some steadfastness in Germany as well, the latter, having fought many of his dawn bouts there.
