Yes you read right. 35 Year old Sam Soliman will next fight unbeaten 13-0 Osumanu Adama from Ghana. This fight will be a IBO middleweight title eliminator. Now here's were things get interesting
Anthony Mundine has recently captured the IBO Middlweight Title from then unbeaten 21-0 Daniel Geale. Now if Soliman is to defeat Adama, he will then be granted a shot at the IBO Title, against the current champion Anthony Mundine.
Now surely Mundine would vacate the title, instead of facing a fighter who he has beaten 3 times and has once knocked out. Mundine has stated for 3+ plus years now he wants big fights oversea's, and the Geale fight was his last in Aussie. I hope Mundine sticks to his word, because I and I'am sure alot of other people would lose alot respect for him if he were to face Soliman a 4th time, if Sam is to win.
The fights dosent make 1% of sense and would do nothing of Mundine in terms of rating and legacy.
I hope this fight dosen't happen, as it would be pointless. Both should take different directions especailly Mundine.
