Abraham's trainer says clash vs. Wilczewski will be tough

PanARMENIAN.Net - Piotr Wilczewski (30-2, 10 KOs) will be the opponent for Arthur Abraham (33-3, 27 KOs) on March 31 in Kiel. Abraham's trainer Ulli Wegner, has a lot of respect for the Polish boxer and expects a much tougher challenge than the one presented by Abraham's opponent in January, Pablo Farias.

"Wilczewski is a very versatile fighter. He was a good amateur, and last year he won the championship belt of Europe while fighting in rough terrain in Finland. He is a much more demanding fighter than Farias. I am confident that fans in Kiel will see an interesting fight," said Wegner.

For his part, Arthur Abraham said, "We have already started preparations for the fight in Kiel. First I have to overcome Wilczewski, and then I'll get a world title fight," boxingscene.com reported.
