Armenia-born professional boxer Arthur Abraham (35-3, 27 KO) is
back in business after what was arguably his best fight in the super
middleweight division against WBO champion Robert Stieglitz (42-2,
23 KOs) late last month.
Abraham, who is based in Berlin and goes by the King Arthur alias,
scored a victory in the August 25 fight against Germany's Stieglitz
to get a world champion's belt for the first time since he gave up
one in the middleweight class as an unbeaten holder and moved upwards
to join a prestigious Super Six tournament.
Abraham, who is now 32, suffered a number of painful defeats in
subsequent years, leading some specialists and boxing rivals to cast
doubt about his further chances in the ring. The Armenian himself,
however, is not in a hurry to call it a career yet.
Now boxing specialists predict 'big fights' coming up for Abraham
against the likes of Mikkel Kessler (45-2, 34 KOs), a 33-year-old
former WBA/WBC super middleweight champion from Denmark. Incidentally,
the later was ringside to watch Abraham destroy Stieglitz in the
Berlin arena.
