The heavyweight bout between unbeaten rising contenders Kevin Johnson and Odlanier Solis has been postponed, Top Rank’s Arum told ESPN.com. Johnson and Solis, a 2004 Cuban Olympic gold medalist, was scheduled for Top Rank’s Aug. 15 pay-per-view undercard in Las Vegas. However, Solis’ trainer is unavailable for the bout and Solis didn’t want to box without him. So Arum said the fight would be rescheduled, probably for the undercard of junior featherweight titlist Juan Manuel Lopez’s next fight, which is tentatively scheduled to headline another Top Rank PPV card Sept. 26 in New York. Replacing the fight on the Aug. 15 telecast will be lightweight Anthony Peterson (28-0, 19 KOs) against Luis Arceo (22-8-2, 15 KOs). It will be Peterson’s first bout in a year, a layoff caused in part by knee surgery earlier this year. The card is headlined by Nonito Donaire, the former flyweight titlist who vacated his belt to move up in weight, against Rafael Concepcion for a vacant interim junior bantamweight title.
