New site for Sam-Vidoz!
Monday, June 16 2008
Ankara is not only the Turkish capital; it is also about to become a major city for professional boxing in Europe. After last years Bull fight at the Bosporus between Sinan Samil Sam and Oliver McCall Arena will be back in Ankara on July 4th at the Büyük Anadolu Hotel. The main event features local hero Sinan Samil Sam again who takes on The Titanium Jaw Paolo Vidoz from Italy for the vacant European heavyweight championship. Originally ARENA-CEO Ahmet Öner had planned to present the show in Istanbul. Now he decided to go back to the capital.
The people in Ankara are just crazy about boxing, said Öner. And theyre especially crazy about Sinan who lives here as well. The Büyük Anadolu Hotel pulled out all the stops to host this fight. He is a real superstar here. And I think he is very happy to fight in front of his home crowd again as he has something to make up for after losing to McCall. There will be 10 fights in total including the pro-debut of Cuban defector and former world amateur champion Erislandy Lara and the long estimated clash between heavyweight sensation Odlanier Solis and former world champion Francois Botha.
