Defection
He defected from the national Cuban boxing team in December 2006, during training in Venezuela for the Pan-American Games in Rio de Janeiro. With him, came two fellow amateurs and reigning Olympic champions, Yan Bartelemi Varela and Yuriorkis Gamboa Toledano. After escaping to Colombia, they arrived in Miami. Solís, who plans to reside in Germany, signed a professional promotional contract with German-based First Artist.
Professional career
Heavyweight
Solís made his professional debut on April 27, 2007, weighing in at a much higher weight at 250+ lbs than as an amateur (where he weighed at around 230 lbs) but knocked out 32-7 veteran Andreas Sidon 47 seconds into the first round. In the next 18 months he racked up a 11-0 record against creditable opposition at this stage of a professional career, and in October 2008 he defeated Chauncy Welliver for the WBC international heavyweight title.
Monte Barrett
Solis fighting out of Miami, Florida, made his third successful defense of the WBC International Heavyweight title with a second round stoppage of Monte Barrett of Queens, New York. Solis, now 15-0 with 11 kos, a Cuban defector with an extensive amateur career, fought a very cautious first as a careful counterpuncher, preferring to feel out the experienced Barrett, age 38, 34-8, 20 kos, to see if he had anything left. In the second, Solis opened up with a long left to Barrett's chin that decked him. Barrett just beat the count. In the barrage from Solis that followed, Barrett went down from a slip under pressure, got up, then got knocked out.
Carl Drumond
On March 20, 2010. Solis fought and defeated Carl Davis Drumond by fourth round TKO to retain his WBC International Heavyweight title and to win the WBA Latino Heavyweight title. After toying with Drumond for the first 3 rounds Solis unleashed a barrage of punches during the last 20 second of round 3 and would have knocked Drumond down had he not been saved by the ropes, making Drumond not want to come out for the fourth round.
Professional boxing record
As of October 2009, Solis has compiled a professional record of 16 wins and no losses. He is currently ranked as #16 in the Heavyweight division according to www.BOXREC.com
