    I'm a bit surprise Liborio Solis 37-9-1 (18KOs) former WBA Super Flyweight and former world challenger WBC and WBA Bantamweight is back at 44 years old against Khalil El Hadri 21-3 (11KOs) in a 10 rounds at 122 lbs (Super Bantamweight).

    And Mourad Aliev 14-1 (11KOs) will be against the journeyman Jhan Carlo Delgado 9-4-1 (3KOs) in a 8 rounds Heavyweight.

    In addition to marking the end of Solis's career, the event will also surely mark the end of Tony Yoka's career or the end of the highly overrated Lawrence Okolie, who is very bad at heavyweight (the guy was very good in Cruiserweight) but now he is too much short and slow in Heavyweight.


    I'm still very surprised and happy that Solis choose France like his last fight of his career (probably) Khalil El Hadri is pretty good (EBU level).

    Can't even pretend to be surprised.

    I'm no Okolie fan (do they exist?) but saying he is too short is rather odd

    Guys reportedly 6ft 5

    Nevertheless, Okolie is really bad in the heavyweight category, very overrated I think.

    That part is true but short is definitely not part of any criticism you can throw at him
