World champion Arthur Abraham calls on Luke!
Two-weight world boxing champion Arthur Abraham will once again look
to Clitheroe fighter Luke Blackledge to help polish preparations for
his rematch with Paul Smith.
Blackledge, 24, was invited out to the Armenian's training camp in
Germany ahead of his WBO world super-middleweight title defence
against Serbian foe Nikola Sjekloca last year.
Abraham beat Smith via a unanimous decision in Kiel, Germany, in
September with ringside judges returning two scorecards of 117-111 and
another 119-109.
With the rematch scheduled in Berlin on February 21st, Blackledge will
fly out to the 34-year-old's base in 12 days time.
The O2 World Arena, the venue for Abraham's upcoming contest, was the
setting for his knockout victory over Jermain Taylor in 2009 and the
first bout of his trilogy against Robert Stieglitz which he won via
another unanimous decision.
