WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm's exciting KO win over Jamie Pittman has inspired talk of world title unification showdowns between Sturm and IBF middleweight champion (and fellow German) Arthur Abraham, as well as WBC/WBO champ Kelly Pavlik. "We're ready. We want the fight with Abraham," stated Universum Box-Promotion chief Klaus-Peter Kohl. "Pavlik is even more interesting because he has two belts." For his part, Sturm said he would dominate Abraham if they should ever meet in the ring. "If we box 24 rounds, I would win 24 rounds," commented Sturm. "I would always outbox him and always win....he has only one quality and that is to hit hard." Before that highly attractive match could take place, Sturm has a mandatory due against the winner of next week's eliminator between Javier Castillejo and Sebastian Sylvester, as well as a possible rematch with Randy Griffin. Abraham has his American debut lined up for June 21, and a mandatory due against Giovanni Lorenzo.
