    On a positive at least the fight is happening soon, 2 months time. Leaves room for a Bika fight next, then who knows.

    Mundine may have Bika to contend with after Soliman

    ANTHONY MUNDINE'S management team has not ruled out the possibility of a future bout with Sakio Bika as they prepare to announce details of the WBA super-middleweight champion's next fight - against Sam Soliman in Melbourne.

    Mundine, who scored a unanimous points decision over fellow Sydneysider Nader Hamdan just two weeks ago, will fight Soliman for the third time at Melbourne's Vodafone Arena on May 28.

    After suffering a ninth-round KO to Mundine at Sydney Entertainment Centre last March, Soliman has taken up an option clause in their deal for a re-match and believes hometown advantage will help him avenge his previous two defeats.

    "Sam has taken up his re-match option and the fight is going to be down there. I want to be known as a man of my word and I believe in 'do as to others what you want others to do unto you'."

    Soliman's last fight was against American Wayne Johnsen to decide third and fourth place on reality television show The Contender after losing a unanimous points decision to Bika, the eventual winner.

    Bika, who is due to have a tune-up in Sydney next month before a bout in the US against a big-name opponent, also wants to fight Mundine and called him out in last Saturday's Herald.

    ===================================

    Is Nasser comparing the Mundine v. Soliman fights to Sugar Ray Robinson v. Jake La Motta's fights?:rofl :rofl :rofl

    And is he implying Soliman is better than Bika but that Bika would be a good opponent too because he is more famous and has a more interesting resume than Soliman?:-( :-( :-(

    I'm glad it's on in 2 months time, and not any longer. If Mundine finishes the year with Bika, and Green as scalps, it'd have been a decent year imo.

    Oh and Faetter, while his opposition isn't up to scratch, at least he's staying active, which is more than I can say for Kessler, who come May, will have probably been sitting on his arse since November, while Mundine will have had 3 fights since then.

    Yea true. Even having **** fights is better than having no fights.

    Just don't buy the f'ing thing. Don't even go to a pub to see this. Only when he starts losing money on his 'cards' may Main Event wake up.

    He will punish Sammy, Bika and Green all within a year - this is great news :happy:happy:happy

    That is a fairly decent year in my opinion.
