This is a tribute to “King” Arthur Abraham. He’s the former IBF middleweight champion of the world and stepped up in weight to participate at Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament. In the first round of the tournament he knocked out Jermain Taylor in the 12th. His record is 31 (25ko) – 0 – 0. Arthur Abraham is famous for his blood fight against Edison Miranda in which he suffered a broken jaw in the 4th round and defended his belt via a unamnious decision. At their rematch in Florida, USA, Abraham knocked Miranda out in the 4th round. After that he wanted a unification bout with Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik to become Super champion in the middleweight division. After several excuses from Team Pavlik and problems to make the weight at middleweight he decided to move up to the Super middleweight division. Arthur Abraham’s idol is Mike Tyson. His next fight will be against Andre Dirrell in the United States at 23th of January 2010. Edited by: Christian Beck Music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Summer Overture ( Requiem for a dream )
