Former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham makes his super middleweight debut on October 17 against Jermain Taylor in Germany. Their fight will be part of the first round of bouts for Showtime's "Super Six" tournament. During a Thursday meeting with the press in Berlin, Germany, Abraham promised to not only beat Taylor but to eliminate all of the other participants of the tournament.
The first order of business is a fight with Taylor. Abraham's shows a lot of respect for Taylor's abilities in the ring.
"Taylor is a real champion," said Abraham. "He has held all four world belts in the middleweight class and I am very motivated to make sure my fans in my home town are not disappointed. The quality of fighters in this tournament is already good. But I would not only like to participate, I want to win it."
Other fighters in the tournament include champions Mikkel Kessler and Carl Froch, and unbeatens Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell.
