Cuban-born former 2004 Olympic gold medalist and heavyweight contender Odlanier Solis of Miami has been granted an "amicable" release from his contract with Top Rank Promotions and signed with promoter, Don King, Top Rank CEO, Bob Arum, told FanHouse on Friday.
"He did so with our permission. It was an amicable deal," said Arum. "Solis is better off with King in the heavyweight division, which we're not active in. They offered us our money back and everything, and so he's going to work with Don King."
Solis was reportedly set to pursue his 13th knockout and his seventh consecutive stoppage against an opponent to be determined in December, according to a release from Solis' his co-promoter, Arena Sports, earlier this month.
