King Arthur: Who cares what Miranda says?
IBF middleweight champion King Arthur Abraham (26-0, 21 KOs) yesterday started his ten-day training camp on a small island in the Baltic Sea to prepare for the June 21 showdown with Edison Miranda. The champion admitted he is already counting the days until his highly-anticipated US debut. "Things have been going great in practice," he said. "I am looking forward to the rematch with Miranda." In September 2006, King Arthur clinched a unanimous points victory over the Colombian even though he had his jaw broken twice and lost over a litre of blood. Miranda, who had five points deducted by referee Randy Neumann in the first fight, recently launched a stinging attack on the 28-year-old German. "I do not think he is a good boxer at all, or a real champion. I will hunt him down like a wounded pig and slaughter him. Abraham won't hear the final bell on June 21st," was among the nicer things he said.
Abraham, however, says he couldn't care less about Miranda´s latest comments. "Does anyone really care about what Miranda says? He should tell his psychologist about his problems. Had I failed to beat a man who has his jaw broken twice, I would have retired immediately and would rather work as a night watchman," said Abraham. Meanwhile, trainer Ulli Wegner is optimistic King Arthur's US debut will be a successful one. "The last time Miranda clearly lost on points. This time Arthur will knock him out," he predicted.
