Sam Soliman Returns Saturday

By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing

Former IBF middleweight champion Sam “King” Soliman (46-15-1, 19 KOs) returns to action on Saturday against unbeaten Liberian-born, Australian-based Victor “Hot Chilli” Nagbe (3-0-0) over ten rounds at the Melbourne Pavillion, Flemington, Victoria, Australia.

Soliman, 47, is coming off an eight round decision loss to former WBC super middleweight champion Sakio Bika in March. Soliman captured the IBF middleweight belt in 2014, defeating Felix Sturm. He lost the title to Jermaine Taylor in the same year.

Nagbe outpointed Terry Nikolas in April in his most recent bout.

Promoter: Phil Eglezos of Punisher Promotions

  • Doubt he can still throw 100 punches a round like he did in his prime. He gave Winky Wright one of the hardest fights of his life!

  • What a career this bloke has had, never backed
    down from any challenge, a journey man
    unlike many, good luck mate, win, lose or draw
    you are a champion, thank you

  • Best of luck to him, another imperfect record that shows a great/gives his all/fights anyone/entertaining fighter is much more impressive. To me, and I think those who love boxing.

  • This guy has had more returns than Frank Sinatra. For me he is best known for the amount of times Mundine has beaten him up.

  • where are the sanctioning bodies this guy need to be saved from himself absolutely disgraceful that he has been given a license to keep fighting and what against a guy with 3 fights JOKE
