Arthur Abraham: I wanted to prove that I can still box
Former middleweight king Arthur Abraham is not sweating the ending to Saturday's fight with Stjepan Bozic in Mulheim, Germany. It was set to be a tune-up to prepare for a May showdown with WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward, which takes place in the semi-finals of the Super Six tournament. Bozic injured his hand in the second round and was unable to continue. Abraham is going back to camp and is now fully focused on Ward.
"I wanted to prove to fans that I can still box, and my past failures were a thing of the past. Unfortunately, my opponent has suffered a hand injury and could not continue in the fight. Well, I had no influence on that. Now I am only thinking about the clash with Ward," Abraham said.
