Abraham: Ward is considered favorite in our fight, but professional boxing is unpredictable

PanARMENIAN.Net - On May 14 in California, super middleweight Arthur Abraham (32-2, 26 KOs) will face WBA champion Andre Ward (23-0, 13 KOs) in a semi-final bout in the Super Six tournament. Ward, the tournament points leader, is a big favorite in the fight, but Abraham is confident of securing the upset victory.

Abraham is training very hard under the leadership of coach Ulli Wegner, and says the battle with Ward is one of the most important fights of his entire career, boxingscene.com reported.

"Preparations are going my way. I'm going to fly to the United States in early May, but until then I will have to remain in top form. For most experts, Ward is the favorite, but professional boxing can be very unpredictable. Everything will be explained on May 14," Abraham said.

For his part, Wegner said: "We will do everything possible to prepare Arthur as best as we can. During the course of the camp, we are going to form the appropriate tactics to use on our opponent."
