BERLIN (Feb. 8, 2010) — Tournament point leader King Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KOs) is on his way to America. The undefeated 29-year-old has boarded a plane to Los Angeles this morning.
Coach Ulli Wegner is moving training camp to Palm Springs where Abraham will clash with Andre Dirrell in the second round of the Super Six World Boxing Classic on March 6. The fight takes place at the Agua Caliente Casino, Resort, Spa in Rancho Mirage, Calif., in greater Palm Springs, and is broadcast live on SHOWTIME? at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast).
“I am thrilled to return to America,” King Arthur said. “If you want to become a true superstar, you have to impress on both sides of the ocean. My KO victory over Edison Miranda in July 2008 was a good start. The Super Six tournament will give me
maximum exposure in the US and I will continue where I left it when I take on Dirrell in four weeks.”
Abraham was joined by WBO Cruiserweight Champion Marco “Captain” Huck (27-1, 20 KOs), who will make a second defence of his title in Berlin on March 13. “I want to prepare Arthur and Marco for their big fights,” Wegner said. “We look forward to some nice weather in Palm Springs but our stay there will be far from relaxing for the two of them. We will work very hard.”
The Dirrell-Abraham fight is being promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, and Sauerland Event.
Tickets go on sale to the public tomorrow/Saturday, Jan. 30, at 10 a.m. and are available at The Show box office, online at www.HotWaterCasino.com/TheShow or by calling 1.800.585.3737. Prices are as follows: Floor $180; Loge $140; Mezzanine $85.
