  • Arthur Abraham: “Stieglitz Doesn’T Have the Power to Threaten Me
    Arthur Abraham: “Stieglitz doesn’t have the power to threaten me March 23 shall represent another glorious day for Arthur Abraham (36-3, 28 KOs). Then he will meet Robert Stieglitz (43-3, 24 KOs) for their hotly anticipated rematch inside the GETEC-Arena in Magdeburg, Germany. The 33-year-old Abraham captured the WBO Super-Middleweight World Championship last August when he beat Stieglitz on points in his hometown of Berlin. This time the champion is making his way to his opponent’s backyard. In the following interview, he reveals what kind of performance can be expected from him. Mister Abraham, the last time people saw you putting on the gloves you beat Frenchman Mehdi Bouadla by technical knockout on December 15. Were you satisfied with your first title defense at super-middleweight? Arthur Abraham: I guess that I showed quite a good performance against Bouadla. There might have been some details I could have done better but in the end, I dominated my opponent that night and took care of him early. In preparation to that fight Mister Wegner told me his expectations and I must have fulfilled most of them. Anyway, he didn’t complain to me afterwards. March 23 will mark the second time you are going to face Robert Stieglitz. Is there anything left you can surprise him with – or could he surprise you? Arthur Abraham: Stieglitz hasn’t seen the best that Arthur Abraham has to offer in our first fight whereas he might have already shown everything he’s got. I have some words for him: Beware, because our rematch is going to be much tougher than the first fight! I’m training as hard as ever for this clash.

  • Gallagher: Smith Can Emulate Groves' Feel Good Story
    Gallagher: Smith can emulate Groves’ feel good story Joe Gallagher says Paul Smith (38-6, 22 KOs) can emulate George Groves’ feel good story by claiming a World title on his third attempt when he challenges Tyron Zeuge (20-0-1, 11 KOs) for the WBA World Super Middleweight strap on Saturday, June 15 at the Rittal Arena in Wetzlar, Germany. Groves won World honours at the fourth time of asking with a stunning sixth-round stoppage victory over the granite chinned Fedor Chudinov on May 27 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield following two epic clashes with domestic rival Carl Froch and a split decision loss to Badou Jack. Gallagher believes Smith, who returns to Germany for a third World title challenge after back-to-back defeats to Arthur Abraham, can mimic Groves’ success by using his ring smarts and experience to dethrone the WBA ‘regular’ champion. ‘’If Paul Smith turns up like he did in the first fight with Abraham then we are leaving Germany with that belt,’’ said Gallagher. ‘’That was a good fight. It was nip and tuck. We had success and when the bell went and I thought we might have nicked it. No one gave him a chance going into that fight, but he went in there, acquitted himself well, and a lot of people thought he deserved to win. ‘’This is now his third attempt, and at this stage of his career, it’s the last roll of the dice. But I just have a good feeling about this fight. I think we could see another feel good story in British boxing, like we saw with George Groves.

  • Self-Made Millionaire Mario Daser Takes on Ola Afolabi
    „The Big Deal“ – Self-made millionaire Mario Daser takes on Ola Afolabi On paper, it looks like a terrible mismatch: This Friday, unbeaten but untested cruiserweight contender Mario Daser (12-0) takes on former IBO world champion and multiple time world title challenger Ola Afolabi for the IBO International International and WBO European Championship. The 37-year-old Brit who lives in Hollywood, California, has a record of 22 wins with only five defeats and four draws. Afolabi has been in the ring with some of the best fighters of his generation including Marco Huck (four times), Rakhim Chakhkiev, Victor Emilio Ramirez, Valery Brudov and Enzo Maccarinelli while Daser’s best opponent so far was Bosnian journeyman Drazan Janjanin. „I was already retired but this offer was just too good to be rejected“, says Afolabi. „When I saw the figures on the contract I knew I had to come back. They are paying me a lot of money to beat up a guy who just isn’t my league. I couldn’t study any of his fights because they are not on YouTube. But I saw training videos on his Instagram account. No offense, but man, his shadowboxing looks like shit!“ Daser knows that he is the underdog due to his lack of experience but he feels comfortable with this role. „All my life people told me that I couldn’t do this and couldn’t do that. However, I always did it – and in the end I succeeded.“ Who is this guy who thinks that he can handle Afolabi? 28-year-old Daser was born in Munich, Germany, and is a self- made millionaire.

  • Arthur Abraham / Gilberto Ramirez Óscar Valdez / Evgeny Gradovich Jose Ramírez / Manny Perez Split on Super Bowl 50 Predictions
    ARTHUR ABRAHAM / GILBERTO RAMIREZ ÓSCAR VALDEZ / EVGENY GRADOVICH JOSE RAMÍREZ / MANNY PEREZ SPLIT ON SUPER BOWL 50 PREDICTIONS LAS VEGAS, NV (February 3, 2016) -- Before they enter the ring for their super brawls, World Boxing Organization (WBO) super middleweight world champion ARTHUR ABRAHAM, undefeated contenders GILBERTO "Zurdo" RAMIREZ, ÓSCAR VALDEZ and JOSE RAMÍREZ, former world champion EVGENY GRADOVICH, and dangerous veteran MANNY PEREZ took time out to make predictions on Super Bowl 50, which will pit the Denver Broncos against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, February 7. The six fighters will be featured in title fights on the Manny Pacquiao - Timothy Bradley world welterweight championship pay-per-view undercard, Saturday, April 9, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Promoted by Top Rank®, in association with MP Promotions, the Pacquiao vs. Bradley world championship event will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View® beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT. Abraham vs. Gilberto Ramirez will be co-promoted by Sauerland Event and Zapari Boxing Promotions. THE PREDICTIONS ARTHUR ABRAHAM “I like the Denver Broncos‘ chances to win Super Bowl 50, I like them a lot! Peyton Manning is one of the all- time greats, the oldest quarterback to lead a team to a Super Bowl berth. With his experience in clutch-time situations, he cannot be denied winning his third championship ring. I n addition, the Broncos have had THE best defense all season long, knowing how to penetrate the opposing team for errors. That could be compared to my style of boxing.

  • Schluss Mit Schlumpf
    # 2007/33 Sport https://www.jungle.world/artikel/2007/33/schluss-mit-schlumpf Schluss mit Schlumpf Von Martin Krauss Der Profiboxer Arthur Abraham hat sich alles, was er erreicht hat, hart erkämpfen müssen. Jetzt ist er Weltmeister im Mittelgewicht. von martin krauss Er habe nicht berühmt werden wollen, sagt Arthur Abraham, »ich wollte Weltmeister werden«. Ein bisschen berühmt wurde er, als er im vergangenen September in Wetzlar seinen Titel gegen Edison Miranda aus Kolumbien verteidigte und ab der vierten Runde mit einem gebrochenen Kiefer boxte. Stark blutend verteidigte er seinen Titel. Am kommenden Samstag, dem 18. August, verteidigt Abraham seinen Titel erneut. Diesmal gegen Khoren Gevor, der wie er aus Armenien stammt. Doch die Berühmtheit ist nicht so groß, dass er beim Interview, das im Restaurant einer Hamburger Warenhausfiliale geführt wurde, oft erkannt würde. Ein armenischer Wachmann will zwischendurch ein Foto mit ihm, zwei weitere Landsleute bitten um ein Autogramm. Arthur Abraham wurde 1980 als Avetik Abrahamyan in der armenischen Hauptstadt Eriwan geboren. Seit Mitte vorigen Jahres hat er die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft, aber weil so etwas nicht reicht, um als Deutscher akzeptiert zu werden, hat er seinen Namen eingedeutscht. »Das ist doch nur ein Künstlername«, sagt er. »Für mich zum Beispiel ist es schwer, französische oder afrikanische Namen auszusprechen. Das ist auch für die meisten Deutschen schwer. Also trage ich für meine Kämpfe einen deutsch klingenden Namen.« Der Mittelgewichtler boxt für den in Berlin ansässigen Sauerlandstall, und er boxt, auch wenn er Weltmeister des anerkannten Verbandes IBF ist, überwiegend für deutsches Publikum. »Der Name Arthur Abraham ist besser für das deutsche Publikum«, sagt er noch, »und auch besser für mein Image.« Das Image eines Boxers ist immer so eine Sache.
