 Abraham’s promoter says too early to plan clash vs. Stieglitz January 23, 2012 - 17:45 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Super middlerweight contender Arthur Abraham (33-3, 27KOs) has his eyes fixed on the WBO title held by Robert Stieglitz (41-2, 23KOs), BoxingScene reports. Stieglitz is still booked to face former champion Mikkel Kessler in April, but rumors continue to swirl that Abraham may beat the Danish star in the championship race. "I hope the fight with Stieglitz will take place. Prior to this, however, I will need to have one more fight. If all goes well, I hope that our promoters will enter into negotiations. This fight would be interesting for the boxing fans, and for me personally," Abraham said. Chris Meyer, general manager of Sauerland Event, who promote Abraham, is also interested in matching King Arthur against Stieglitz. However, he states that Kessler is still on course to face Stieglitz in April. "To carry out a fight between Abraham and Stieglitz, we would need a huge arena. However, in mid-April Robert will make a title defense against Mikkel Kessler, and only after that can we say something concrete about a fight between Abraham and Stieglitz," Meyer said.
