Boxing: Fallen ‘King’ has a point to prove
Abraham, 32, is facing retirement if he loses the world title bout in Berlin. Having held the International Boxing Federation (IBF) middleweight belt from 2005 to 2009, Abraham made 10 successful defences before losing three of his four bouts during the Super Six super-middleweight bouts when he stepped up a division.
“Actions speak louder than words and I am going to answer all questions inside the ring,” said Arthur as he looks to live up to his ‘King Arthur’ moniker with a record of 27 knock-outs in 34 wins and three defeats. The fight promises to be interesting — Stieglitz has great technique, but Abraham is known for his powerful punches.
