The World Boxing Organization has ordered a purse bid for a WBO super middleweight eliminator between WBO #2 Arthur Abraham and WBO #3 Robin Krasniqi.

Martin Murray (33-4-1, 16KOs) has confirmed a recent report on BoxingScene.com, that he will be facing Russian super middleweight contender Dmitry Chudinov (19-1-2, 12KOs) on November 12th in Monaco. The card will be headlined by a heavyweight battle between Luis Ortiz and Malik Scott.

As previously reported by BoxingScene.com, Martin Murray's rematch with Arthur Abraham is off. While it wasn't initially revealed, it appears Abraham pulled out of the Monte Carlo card, scheduled for November 12, after injuring an elbow in sparring on Friday.

Martin Murray has confirmed that his next fight is off. The former four-time world title challenger, from St Helens, was set to face Arthur Abraham in a rematch next month. Murray (33-4-1, 16 KOs) lost to the German for the WBO world title last November and was ready to avenge the defeat against the 36-year-old super-middleweight, who has since succumbed his crown to Gilberto Ramirez, on November 12, live on Sky Sports.

WBO # 2 light heavyweight and reigning Intercontinental champion Dominic Boesel (23-0) and WBO # 3 Sean Monaghan (27-0) have been nominated by the WBO to take part in an eliminator with the winner to get the chance / misfortune to face the winner of Andre Ward vs Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev - who collide for the WBO/WBA/IBF world titles on November 19th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Matchroom Boxing and the Casino de Monte-Carlo are delighted to announce a blockbuster night of World championship boxing on November 12 at Salle des Etoiles, Sporting Monte-Carlo in ‘Monte-Carlo Boxing Bonanza’ live on Sky Sports.

Former WBO super middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (45-5) will fight Martin Murray (33-4-1) on November 12 in Monte Carlo, writes the always well informed Bild am Sonntag in Germany, in what appears to be an eliminator for another shot at the title now held by Gilbert Ramirez.

Max Schmeling Halle, Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin - In his first fight since losing the WBO super middleweight title in April to Gilberto Ramirez in Las Vegas, 'King' Arthur Abraham (45-5, 30KOs) broke down and stopped Tim Robin Lihaug (15-2, 8KOs) in eight rounds.

Tyron Zeuge (18-0, 10 KOs) and Giovanni De Carolis (24-6, 12 KOs) both made weight today ahead of their WBA World Super Middleweight Championship fight tomorrow night at the Max-Schmeling-Halle in Berlin.

Arthur Abraham is well aware that his upcoming opponent, Tim-Robin Lihaug looks to him as one of his boxing idols and an honor to share ring space on July 16 at Max-Schmelling Halle in Berlin, Germany. The former two-division champ is wise enough to know that the 23-year old prospect looks to him as a way to advance his own career, whereas a second consecutive loss could very well mark the last days at the contender level for Abraham.
