    ROYAL RETURN: KING ARTHUR REGAINS BOXING LIMELIGHT AFTER RECOVERING WORLD CHAMP STATUS

    Armenia-born professional boxer Arthur Abraham (35-3, 27 KO) is
    back in business after what was arguably his best fight in the super
    middleweight division against WBO champion Robert Stieglitz (42-2,
    23 KOs) late last month.

    Abraham, who is based in Berlin and goes by the King Arthur alias,
    scored a victory in the August 25 fight against Germany's Stieglitz
    to get a world champion's belt for the first time since he gave up
    one in the middleweight class as an unbeaten holder and moved upwards
    to join a prestigious Super Six tournament.

    Abraham, who is now 32, suffered a number of painful defeats in
    subsequent years, leading some specialists and boxing rivals to cast
    doubt about his further chances in the ring. The Armenian himself,
    however, is not in a hurry to call it a career yet.

    Now boxing specialists predict 'big fights' coming up for Abraham
    against the likes of Mikkel Kessler (45-2, 34 KOs), a 33-year-old
    former WBA/WBC super middleweight champion from Denmark. Incidentally,
    the later was ringside to watch Abraham destroy Stieglitz in the
    Berlin arena.
