YEREVAN, JULY 26, ARMENPRESS: IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham
will make his second mandatory title defense against Khoren Gevor (both
are Armenia-born living now in Germany) at the Max Schmeling-Halle
in Berlin, Germany on August 18.
Abraham, 23-0 (18), last stopped Sebastien Demers inside three
rounds. He is currently shaping up in Zinnowitz, a tiny village near
the Baltic Sea.
"After my long break I have to give 100 percent in each and every
session to be perfectly prepared for this important fight. I am happy
that I can make the mandatory defense in Berlin, which is where I
live. I hope the fans will support me," Abraham was quoted by news
agencies as saying.
The IBF made fifth-ranked Gevor the mandatory challenger after Edison
Miranda´s recent loss to Kelly Pavlik and Amin Asikainen´s European
title defeat against Sebastian Sylvester.
"Of course Arthur is the favorite," said coach Ulli Wegner. "But you
must not underestimate Gevor - even though his name might only ring
a bell with a few experts. Arthur must not take him lightly."
"Our country fellows are not happy since one of us will have to lose,
but this is life,' Arthur Abraham told journalists.
