Arthur Abraham: it is my dream and my goal to become a boxing legend

PanARMENIAN.Net - King Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KOs) will return to the USA on Saturday, March 20, to continue his preparation for the eagerly-anticipated Super Six World Boxing Classic showdown with Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KOs). The two super-middleweights lock horns at the famous Joe Louis Arena on Saturday, March 27.



"This has been the longest preparation of my life. I did not have any time off since November. In my first year as a professional, I made 12 fights - and now I have been training non-stop for five months. I am really eager to get back in the ring," Arthur Abraham said.



"I am sure there will be lots of German and Armenian fans cheering for me in Detroit," he noted, adding: "Andre Dirrell can count on the support of his fans. But that will not help him once he is inside the ring with me. It will just be the two of us. Fighting in Florida did not help Edison Miranda either - I stopped him in the fourth round (in June 2008)."



"Dirrell is very fast, very skilled and very awkward fighter. But together with my coach Ulli Wegner we have come up with a plan to beat him."



"The winner in this tournament will be a legend. It is my dream and my goal to become a boxing legend, so the Super Six tournament is the best thing that could have happened to me - and the fans all over the world," boxingscene.com cited the Armenian boxer as saying.
