When Samuel Peter and Vitali Klitschko fight for the WBC world heavyweight championship this Saturday in Berlin, a designated future champion will make his appearance on the undercard.
Heavyweight sensation Odlanier Solis, 11-0 (7), will face the “Hillyard Hammer”, Chauncy Welliver, 35-4-5 (12) for the vacant WBC International Championship belt.
The international title had been relinquished by “Black Panther” Juan Carlos Gomez before he went into his Final Elimination bout with Vladimir Virchis on September 27. After his unanimous decision win over Virchis, Gomez is now the no. 1 contender and will be challenging the winner of the WBC title fight between Vitali Klitschko vs. Samuel Peter.
“Juan’s way shows where the WBC International title can lead to”, says Solis. “This is an important step for me. I will beat Welliver and win the belt."
“I expect a very good fight and a clear win for Solis”, adds promoter Ahmet Öner. “Welliver has never been knocked out before in more than 40 pro-fights. This is a chance for Odlanier to prove that he is a real knockouter.”
