Super flyweight contender Mai Soliman (10-1, 6 KOs) believes she is ready for a world title shot following her stoppage victory over Jasmine Parr (8-2, 3 KOs) earlier this month. The 27-year-old Soliman was down on the cards when she found a home for her vaunted right hand midway through the seventh round, hurting Parr and finishing her off with a flurry at Hyatt Place Event Centre in Essendon Fields, Australia on November 7. Soliman collected the IBF International belt with her win over the New Jersey-based sanctioning body's number eight contender and will likely replace her in the top 10 in the next ratings update, moving her closer to a tilt at the red belt owned by Mexican southpaw Irma Garcia (25-5-1, 5 KOs). The Egyptian-born Soliman showed her mettle against Parr, withstanding the 22-year-old's volume punching in the first half of the fight before banging her way to victory. "I didn't expect it to be an easy fight at all, but I expected it to be a good, hard fight," Soliman told Fightnews. "We had both fought pretty much everyone in our division, so I expected her to come out at her best.
