Ulli Wegner: I have faith in Arthur Abraham’s victory

WBO Super Middleweight Champion Arthur Abraham’s trainer Ulli Wegner said they will leave the ring as the winner on March 23.

“We have to be that confident as Arthur is the reigning world champion. It will be a great fight and in my opinion the first couple of rounds and the reaction of the crowd could be decisive. May the best man win, and it is not a surprise that as a coach I have faith in my guy. We did everything we could to get Arthur into shape and we will give it our all,” fightnews.com quoted Wegner as saying.

Stieglitz’s trainer Dirk Dzemski, in turn, hailed the German boxer’s trainings.

“I am convinced that this will be an exciting fight, maybe even a war. I hope that the home fans will be right behind Robert and keep pushing him throughout the bout. I also hope that he will not make the same mistakes again. We have been working on them for a long time. He has a good game plan and tactics which will surprise you,” the trainer said.

On March 23, Magdeburg will host a world title rematch between Arthur Abraham and Robert Stieglitz.
