Sturm offered 1.2M

Monday, March 13 2006 Wilfried Sauerland, promoter of IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham, has made a public $1.2 million offer to the camp of newly crowned WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm, for an August 19 title unification showdown between Sturm and Abraham. "The boxing fans in Germany want to know who the true middleweight champion is," said Sauerland. "We offer this attractive fight to the fans because Arthur is ready.....we've always held the opinion that Abraham against Sturm only becomes a topic if both are world champions. Now Felix Sturm also has the title and we can have the fight. Both these exceptional boxers fighting against each other would be the high point of the year. I hope that that this fight comes." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before that fight can happen, however, Abraham already has a title defense lined up for May 13 in Zwickau, Germany. He began training today in Berlin for that fight. hehe, who were those guys saying that sturm is a pussy for not taking the taylor fight and that he can fight bums in germany for chump change? no no my friends ive told u that sturm can make more fighting in germany then shitty deal of 750k to fight taylor in taylors backyard. that report is from fightnews and im sure sturm will take it, both are huge and the best euro middleweights right now, and the winner of those 2 should get the winky/taylor winner
