Enrique Solis

Enrique "Kiko" Solis is a former boxer from Puerto Rico, who in 1978 challenged Eusebio Pedroza of Panama for Pedroza's WBA's recognized world Featherweight championship. Solis is a member of a prolific Puerto Rican boxing family, his brothers being former WBA and Ring Magazine world Bantamweight champion Julian Solis, former WBC world Junior Lightweight title challenger Rafael Solis and Santos Solis, who once fought Wilfred Benitez as a professional and went ten rounds with him. He is from Caimito, Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico.

Kiko Solis made his professional boxing debut on February 19, 1972 at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, defeating the also debuting Samuel Feliciano by first round knockout. He followed that initial victory with an April 15 points win over Lecardo Millan, another debuting fighter.

On May 13, Solis tasted defeat as a professional for the first time, when facing debutant Santiago Rosas, who outpointed him over four rounds at San Juan. A rematch with Rosas was held in Ponce on July 8, and Solis was knocked out in round four.

Solis took off almost a year after the second loss to Rosas but re-emerged in the last seven months of 1973 fighting five times during that span, going 3-1-1 in those bouts, defeating 1-5 Gilberto Mendez on May 12 by a fourth round knockout at the Country Club Stadium in Carolina, debuting Rolando Martinez by six round decision at Isabela on July 14, and 8-2 Enrique Alonso by a ten round decision November 30 at San Juan. He lost to 3-5-1 Tony Tris by split eight round decision on August 21 in San Juan, and drew (tied) with Adriano Marrero, who'd later challenge Antonio Cervantes for the Colombian's WBA world Junior Welterweight title, over eight rounds at San Juan on October 24.
