It appears that Ulises Solis, the IBF junior flyweight champion, has not yet signed for his title defense against Brian Viloria, scheduled for April 18 at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Philippines. Solis has not agreed to the money with Fernando Beltran of Top Rank.
"We have to reach a financial arrangement with my agent Fernando Beltran. I am ready to go to the Philippines, but I have not signed anything," Solis told ESTO.
Solis views Viloria as a very tough opponent and knows the fight will be even tougher since it's being held in the Philippines. He says power will be the key against Viloria.
"I have to be very well prepared, especially because the fight will be in the Philippines. More than anything else, we have worked on power in the gym. I saw Viloria on video, and he's tough and has a strong punch. The key to win is with power. I think the fight will be interesting," Solis said.
