EURO NEWSBy Per-Ake Persson ![]() Solis vs Thompson II was first on for October 18 in Duesseldorf but was then postponed after Solis was injured in training and a new date was tentatively set for November 22 but was then re-scheduled for January 24.
Thompson won the first fight in March 2014 with a split decision over Solis but the talk was all about how the talented Cuban appeared to blow it with his lazy attitude.
****************************
Jan 20: EBU cruiserweight champion Rakhim Chahkhiev (19-1) will make a voluntary defence agains Pole Lukasz Janik (29-2) March 21 or March 28 in Moscow. Janik was previously mandatory challenger for the EU title but will now lose that position.
Jan 21: Today’s announcement from the EBU reads that the fight is off and was probably never on at least according to Janik’s management.
****************************
EBU lightweight champion Emiliano Marsili (30-0-1) will still go through with a voluntary defence of the title January 24 but the opponent is now Hungarian Gyorgy Miszei (21-11) after Antonio De Vitis pulled out due to illness. Miszei was also Marsili’s opponent in September and Marsili won on a unanimous decision on scores of 116-113 twice and 118-116.
****************************
French superfeather champ Samir Ziani (17-2-1) defends the title against Sebastien Cornu (13-12-3) January 30 in Blagnac. Ziani was last seen fighting in Copenhagen against the touted Richard Commey (19-0) and appeared to have done enough to win it but the judges had it otherwise.
Stylewise Ziani is all about relentless agression and hard work at a fast pace. He´s currently ranked # 6 by the EBU and should be able to move up the ratings.
****************************
Cruiserweight Nuri Seferi (36-6) is in the final stages of his preparations in Hamburg for his WBO eliminator against Krzysztof Glowacki (23-0) January 31 in Torun (Poland) and his now sparring with former WBC champ Juan Carlos Gomez. Gomez is like Glowacki a southpaw and brings tons of experience to the table.
