After Wladimir Klitschko’s one-sided win over Ruslan Chagaev on Saturday night in Germany, heavyweight sensation Odlanier Solis feels it’s time for him to take over in order to bring back action and excitement to the division.
“To me this fight showed why nobody is interested in heavyweight boxing at the moment”, said Solis.
“Of course, Klitschko looked strong but that was merely because his opponent did absolutely nothing. It seems to me that all the guys who enter the ring with either Klitschko freeze with respect or are just not good enough to actually challenge the champions. I am the only worthy challenger out there.”
“La Sombra” Solis, three-time world amateur champion and 2004 Olympic gold medallist, knocked out Dominique Alexander in one round last week in Miami taking his pro-record to 14-0.
“I would knock out both Klitschkos as well. I am the one who will end their reign and I am ready to prove it anytime, anyplace.”
