Arthur Abraham: I will win in a fight against Ward

PanARMENIAN.Net - Super Six World Boxing Classic Semifinalists Andre Ward and Arthur Abraham participated in a press conference to formally announce their May 14 showdown in Carson, U.S. Ward will defend his WBA Super Middleweight title against the European superstar and former world champion to kick off the Semifinals of the groundbreaking tournament.

Abraham, who is in the middle of training for the fight, was not able to attend the press conference from his home base in Berlin, Germany and joined via video conference.

“I’m looking forward to May 14 and having a great fight. I am feeling OK. I was a little sick but I just started training again and I should be fine. We are getting ready for a good fight. The tune up fight didn’t give me as much as I wanted but it was OK. It was good to get back in the ring and get that feeling,” the boxer said.

“You’ll be surprised on May 14. It’s not my style to make big predictions. I want to show you inside the ring. I know Ward is the favourite but that motivates me even more. Over history many favourites have crashed down.”

“I look forward to coming over to the U.S. I will give 120 percent. Together, with the Armenian fans, I will win the title and reach the finals.

“The Armenian fans will motivate me. That makes this fight more special for me. I will not disappoint them. We will win on May 14 and then we’ll win the final,” Abraham said, according to fightnews.com.
