Gustong magbalik-boksing ni two time IBF light flyweight champion Ulises Solis ng Mexico para harapin si dating interim WBA junior flyweight titlist Randy Petalcorin ng Pilipinas sa Australia.
Dumalaw sa Melbourne kamakailan si Solis at nagpahayag ng interes na bumalik sa boksing kung maganda ang magiging alok ni Aussie promoter Peter Maniatis para sa kanilang duwelo.
Huling lumaban si Solis noong 2013 nang matalo via 2nd round knockout kay dating WBC flyweight champion at kababayang si Edgar Sosa at may problema siya noon sa demandahan kay WBO light welterweight titlist Saul Alvarez.
“Petacorin is a good fighter and a former WBA world champion. I am a two time IBF world champion. I believe this fight would generate a lot of interest. I am only 35 years old and have not fought for a few years but I am always in the gym training and also training other boxers. I take boxing seriously,” sabi ni Solis sa Fightnews.com. “The offer would have to be good to get me out of retirement.”
Kinokonsidera naman ni Maniatis ang hamon ni Solis kay Petalcorin na kasalukuyang IBF Pan Pacific light flyweight champion at pansamantalang nakabase sa Australia.
“Solis is a good name for Petalcorin he has fought in 14 world title fights but has not fought for three years and at 35 years of age it’s up to him to get into shape to fight Petalcorin. I think this fight would be a statement fight for Petalcorin,” dagdag ni Maniatis. (Gilbert Espeña)
