Viennese welterweight. Born 1947. Fought from 1965 to 1974. Record: 42-8-3 (28).
EBU junior welterweight champion, 1967-1968. Orsolics won the title from Conny Rudhoff in June 1967 and defended it successfully against Juan Albornoz before losing to Bruno Arcari via TKO in May 1968.
EBU welterweight champion, 1969-1970. Orsolics knocked out Jean Josselin in fourth in September 1969 to win title; defended it successfully against Klaus Klein and Carmelo Bossi; lost it to Ralph Charles in November 1970, when Orsolics was knocked out in twelfth.
Orsolics then took three shots at the EBU junior middleweight championship, losing each time. Juan Carlos Duran decisioned him in March 1973; Jacques Kechichian tko'd him in February 1974; nine months later, Jose Manuel Duran tko'd him again. Orsolics retired after the loss.
