Australian update: ex-champ Soliman faces Lucas tomorrow

Former IBF middleweight champion Sam Soliman, now age 45, returns to action tomorrow in Melbourne, Australia. Soliman (pictured) is listed at 45-14-1, and the result of his last fight was changed from a win to a no contest becuase the referee reportedly favored Soliman over his opponent, Tej Pratap Singh. Before that, Soliman fought to a draw with Wes Capper, now 19-2-1. Soliman's opponent tomorrow will be fellow Australian Mark Lucas, who is 9-1. Two months ago, Lucas lost a split decision to Rocky Jerkic, who is 17-1. Both Soliman and Lucas made the middleweight limit of 160 pounds today. source: world boxing foundation
