I wonder why this is happening 2 weeks before Abraham's comeback fight?? Seems very odd. Maybe his jaw is still giving him problems and he is now looking at a lawsuit?? What are your thoughts??
Police accuse Abraham trainer!
Saturday, May 12 2007
Ulli Wegner, trainer of IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham, has had to hire an attorney to defend against a police inquiry stemming from Abraham's boxing match with Edison Miranda eight months ago. According to BILD, Berlin authorities have initiated preliminary proceedings against Wegner because he didn't stop the fight after Abraham suffered a broken jaw in round four of that bout. "The whole thing is absurd," said Wegner who is preparing Abraham for his comeback fight on May 26 against unbeaten Sebastien Demers in Bamberg, Germany. "I always had the towel in my hand to intervene if it had been necessary." Abraham, who sustained a broken jaw in two places but retained his title by twelve round decision, stated that he is "unbelievably grateful" that Wegner didn't stop the fight. Wegner's attorney Adrian Stahl doesn't see the basis for the proceeding, commenting that 1) Abraham was in full possession of his mental faculties and capable of making his own decision and 2) Referee Randy Neumann was there to break off the fight if there was a worry about the health of the boxer.
