boxing-heute.de have an interview with promoter Ahmet Oener, and Oener says the often postponed rematch between heavyweights Odlanier Solis and Tony Thompson will go ahead February 27 in Budapest. A Cuba vs America matchup in Hungary doesn´t seem natural but Oener is convinced his local partners will get it together.
Solis vs Thompson II was first on for October 18 in Duesseldorf but was then postponed after Solis was injured in training and a new date was tentatively set for November 22 but was then rescheduled for January 24.
Thompson won the first fight in March 2014 with a split decision over Solis but the talk was all about how the talented Cuban appeared to blow it with his low workrate and lazy attitude.
