Boxing Info: Arthur Abraham on his way to the U.S.

King Arthur Abraham (26-0, 21 KOs) is on his way to the U.S. The undefeated IBF middleweight champion has boarded a plane at Berlin Tegel at 9.50 am this morning. After a quick stop in Munich, he is expected to arrive in Miami at 4.35 pm local time. “I am really looking forward to the rematch with Miranda,” he said before his departure. “I could not show my true potential in the first fight because of the broken jaw. I will make up for that this time out. Miranda better prepares himself for a tough battle.”

Together with coach Ulli Wegner, King Arthur will spend the next couple of days at the Lago Mar Resort & Club in Fort Lauderdale. “We are going over early to adjust to the time difference and the climate,” the 28-year-old added. “I will be in top shape on June 21.”

Wegner has no doubts that Abraham will defeat Miranda once again.
“Everything has gone well during the preparation,” he said. “I expect a very interesting fight. I am very optimistic because Arthur has trained extremely well. He showed in the first fight how big his heart is and I am sure he will prove it again in America.”

On their flight to Miami, Wegner and Abraham were joined by Cecilia Braekhus. The First Lady, who boasts a perfect record of seven wins in as many fights (2 KOs), will also be in action on the June 21 show in Hollywood, Florida. “I am thrilled to fight in the US,” the Scandinavian beauty said. “It will be a very interested experience. The preparation with Arthur and Ulli Wegner has once again been very interesting – and quite exhausting. But I keep learning and I want to show that on June 21.”

The First Lady´s opponent will be revealed in the next days.
