Heavyweights Solis, Airich Make Weight In Texas

2004 Olympic gold medalist Odlanier Solis will step into the ring with 267.5 lbs. for his comeback fight after a 14 months layoff due to the knee injury he suffered when challenging WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in March 2011.

This is about the same weight “La Sombra” had when he annihilated former world title challengers Monte Barrett in October 2009 in New York and Carl Davis Drummond in March 2010 in Key West.

Reigning and defending IBF intercontinental champion Konstantin Airich weighed in at 225.75 lbs. The fight at the Convention Center in Pharr, Texas is promoted by Main Events and Arena Box. Highlights will be shown in the Telefutura “Solo Boxeo” broadcast tomorrow night.
