Recently disposed WBO Super Middleweight champion, Arthur Abraham will be back in the ring on July 16 in Germany.
“I’m not ready to say goodbye to the sport I love so much,” Abraham (44-5, 29 KOs), 36, of Germany, said. “‘The fight with Ramirez did not go as planned, but I promise this will not happen again. I will show that I can do better and that I can become world champion again. That is my greatest wish.”
“I was not happy with Arthur’s performance against Ramirez, but I have decided to give the boy another chance,” Wegner said. “He did not do enough in Las Vegas to retain his title and call himself a champion. Now he must work harder and show that this was just a blip in his character.”
“Arthur has overcome many obstacles in his career — fighting through a broken jaw to defend his middleweight title against Edison Miranda (in 2006) and suffering defeat in the Super Six on his way to becoming a two-weight world champion.
“He has come back from defeat before, and we’re sure he can do it again. It’s now about his legacy and how he wants to be remembered as a boxer. He must show that the fire still burns and that he’s willing to put in the work to become world champion again.”
