no, not at all, in fact, it was already announced today that Abraham is facing Kofi Jantuah next in May:

Abraham to face Jantuah!
IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (20-0, 17 KOs) will defend his title against Kofi Jantuah (30-3, 19 KOs) on May 13 in Zwickau, Germany. "We have found a very attractive opponent for Arthur" said manager Wilfried Sauerland. "Jantuah is a good puncher, always looks for the confrontation, goes forward -- the fans will like that!" For Abraham, this optional title defense is his last fight before his mandatory defense against Edison Miranda. Over the weekend, the Colombian won an elimination fight against Howard Eastman by seventh round KO. "The fight against Miranda is planned for August or September," stated Sauerland, "and we would like to promote the fight in Germany." The world title twinbill in Zwickau, which also features WBC super middleweight champion Markus Beyer is already sold out. The ARD network in Germany will televise both title fights live.

No this is far from signed. AA has this as an open date in Germany, but I am sure that Miranda will try to get the fight here in the States. Sounds like a purse bid to me!

According to boxrec.com the Abraham-Miranda fight is scheduled after the Abraham-Jantuah fight which is disrespectul to Kofi if this is the way Abraham and his team see this going down.Kofi is a puncher with skill.I think he has a very good chance of beating Abraham.
