The two-time former heavyweight champion George Foreman is picking Jermain Taylor to upset Arthur Abraham on October 17 at the o2 World Arena in Berlin, Germany. Besides training with Ozell Nelson, Taylor did a lot of work at Foreman's Youth Center in Houston, Texas. He said Foreman has picked him to overcome Abraham in the first round of Showtime's Super Six tournament.
"Foreman said that I will beat Arthur. My relationship with George is great. He is truly a legend. I will not surrender or give Arthur any benefits. Foreman believes that I will beat him if I stick to it to what I've done in training and use my skills to my advantage," Taylor told Bild.
Taylor, a former Olympian, is not concerned with fighting Abraham before a hostile German crowd. As an Olympian, he plenty of overseas action.
"For me, like all Olympic athletes, it is not uncommon to fight internationally. As soon as the bell sounds, you are so focused that you no longer hear the audience anyway," Taylor said.
