Abraham's Return Possible in February, With Paul Smith?

By Per Ake Persson

Bild.de in Germany writes that WBO super middleweight champion Arthur Abraham is likely to headline Sauerland Event´s first show with its new TV partner Sat 1. If all works out, Abraham will defend the title in February at the O 2 Arena in Berlin. As for opponent, apparently Paul Smith is in the running for a rematch after the points loss to Abraham in Kiel - a decision that looked fair enough if it hadn´t been for the scorecards that gave Abraham a wide points victory after a close fight.
 
The contract with Sat 1 runs for two years with options for more.
 
Meanwhile Abraham´s 19-year old stablemate Vincent "Iron Jr" Feigenbutz wants to fight Abraham already and made that clear during the press conference when the Sat 1 deal was announced. Feigenbutz and Abraham sparred prior to the Smith fight and there are different opinions on how it went. "Iron Jr" is set to defend the WBO I/C interim and GBU I/C belts December 13 in Karlsruhe on a Faecher Sport show. Faecher is headed by Feigenbutz´s manager Rainer Gottwald.
