Sam Soliman is prepared to retire if he beats Felix Sturm in Germany this weekend and doesn't get the next crack at fellow Australian Daniel Geale's IBF middleweight boxing title.
Soliman, the No.1 contender for Geale's title, tackles No.3 rated Sturm in Dusseldorf on Friday (Saturday morning AEDT).
Having won a title eliminator in his last bout, 39-year-old Soliman could just have waited for his mandatory crack at the winner of Wednesday's bout between Geale and Anthony Mundine without taking a potentially risky contest against 34-year-old former world champion Sturm.
Geale's promoter Gary Shaw said on Monday he would consider petitioning the IBF for his man to have a voluntary defence after fighting Mundine.
