Sturm and his team went a different direction. They had a deal in place, then Sturm opted out.
Now Soliman has him for a rematch May 31
Felix has to face Soliman or be stripped,it's a mandatory !
Plenty of options for Felix after he dispenses of Soliman,Lee,Geale,GGG maybe even Quillin would be willing to step up and face a challenge,doubtful but stranger things have happened in boxing.

He has to face him before August and Mack/Sturm been in talks for a while... he stuffed 2 fights in between that time period last year too... one being Soliman.
Two legitimate top ten middleweights facing off. Winner could get himself a shot at somebody like Sturm. Loser will not be in a good place. If Geale wins, Macklin's days as a contender could very well be done. The peak of his career will have been his Sturm fight. If Macklin wins, Geale will have lost to two of the British trio. His career would not be in a good place. I'd personally like to see winner fight Quillin. Of course, knowing Quillin, he wouldn't be willing to fight the loser.
He probably could still get a Golovkin fight if he lost, in Monaco as opposed to HBO.
