Edison Miranda winds downs training for his important return fight against undefeated middleweight champion Arthur Abraham this Saturday, June 21, on Showtime.

In one of the most eagerly awaited rematches in years – and the most anticipated since Vazquez-Marquez II -- the explosive, hard-hitting Miranda, 30-2 (26) will face Abraham, 26-0 (21), in the main event live on Showtime Championship Boxing at 9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast.

Abraham, an Armenian based in Germany, outlasted Miranda, a Colombian who lives in Puerto Rico, in their amazing first fight, winning a hotly disputed decision on September 23, 2006, in a slugfest in Germany that was rife with drama, incredible two-way exchanges, a broken jaw, multiple head butts, low blows and controversy. Saturday’s 12-round rematch will be contested at a catch weight of 166 pounds.

Showtime will re-air Abraham-Miranda tomorrow night/Thursday, June 19, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHO2 and on Saturday, June 21, at 6 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime.

In Saturday's Showtime co-feature, undefeated middleweight Giovanni Lorenzo, 26-0 (18), of New York, by way of Dominican Republic, will face Raul Marquez, 41-3 (29), of Houston, Texas, by way of Mexico, in an IBF world title elimination bout.

The doubleheader will emanate from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., and is promoted by Seminole Warriors Boxing and Sauerland Event in association with The Seminole Tribe of Florida.
