Former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham is set to return to
160-pounds to revive his career after three defeats from five bouts at
super middleweight, it was announced Saturday. Abraham was undefeated
in over 30 fights at middleweight but lost three of his five fights at
super middleweight. Abraham's promoter, Wilfried Sauerland, said the
boxer could possibly return to the middleweight division in November.
"I want to prove I can come back," he told SID, an AFP subsidiary. "No
one should write me off. Just because I lost recently, it doesn't
mean I have lost my sporting ambitions."
Having often struggled to make the weight at middleweight, Abraham
has been ordered by Sauerland to take expert advice to keep his
weight down.
"It can only work if he works with a nutritional consultant and
he strictly adheres to this plan. He hasn't done that before,"
said Sauerland.
