Solis hat eine Frau und zwei Jungs, mit denen er in Miami lebt. Und noch einen Jungen (und womöglich eine Ex) auf Kuba, den er anscheinend seit 2006 nicht mehr gesehen hat. (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/24709dc2-adfc-11e1-bb8e-00144feabdc0.html)
Wie er das finanziell anstellt, gerade Florida mit Frau+2 Kindern, ist wohl sein Geheimnis.

"As additional motivation, Solis’ family flew in from Miami and arrived in Istanbul today. “Having my wife and my boys here with me is the final missing piece”, adds Solis. “I will not disappoint them as I will not disappoint my fans in Turkey and all around the world. I will beat Tony Thompson and go on to become world champion!”
Wenn ihn das nicht zu Höchstleistungen motiviert hat, dann ist ihm wirklich nicht mehr zu helfen.
Öner hat auf alle Fälle alles versucht:
“We went to the cinema to watch ‘300: Rise of an Empire’. The next day I took Solis to ancient graves from the times of the Ottoman empire”, says Oner. “I wanted to show Solis that he is in a country which has seen a lot of big and important battles over thousands of years. I expect him to enter the ring on Saturday with the same attitude of old Ottoman fighters when they went to war. This is a do or die fight. If Solis beats Thompson I will lead him to another world title fight. But if he loses it might be all over.”
Wenn man sich das alles im Nachhinein betrachtet, muss man sich fast fragen, wieso er sich überhaupt aus Kuba abgesetzt hat.
Besserer Lebensstandard, einfachere Lebensbedingungen, klar, aber nur um am Ende dann auch nur rumzugammeln und nichts draus zu machen?
Speziell nach solchen Sprüchen:
“I had two solutions and I had to take a decision, which I still don’t regret.” To him, that meant quitting his homeland or ending up “like almost all athletes in Cuba, sitting on a street corner, forgetting the past”.
