Arthur Abraham: I am thrilled to return to America

The undefeated 29-year-old boxer Arthur Abraham boarded a plane to Los Angeles late last week. Coach Ulli Wegner is moving training camp to Palm Springs where Abraham will clash with Andre Dirrell in the second round of the Super Six World Boxing Classic on March 6. The fight takes place at the Agua Caliente Casino, Resort, Spa in Rancho Mirage, California.

“I am thrilled to return to America,” King Arthur said.“If you want to become a true superstar, you have to impress on both sides of the ocean. My KO victory over Edison Miranda in July 2008 was a good start. The Super Six tournament will give me maximum exposure in the US and I will continue where I left it when I take on Dirrell in four weeks,” The Boxingscene quoted Abraham as saying.
