IBF MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION, ARTHUR ABRAHAM RESPONDS TO EDISON MIRANDA'S TRASH TALK: "DOES ANYONE REALLY CARE WHAT MIRANDA SAYS?"

King Arthur: “Who cares what Miranda says?"


For Immediate Release

King Arthur Abraham yesterday started his ten-day training camp on a
small island in the Baltic Sea to prepare for the June 21 showdown with
Edison Miranda. The IBF middleweight champion, unbeaten in 26 fights (21
KOs), admitted he is already counting the days until his
highly-anticipated US debut. “Things have been going great in practice,”
he said. “I am looking forward to the rematch with Miranda.” Back in
September 2006, King Arthur clinched a unanimous points victory over the
Colombian even though he had his jaw broken twice and lost over a litre
of blood.

Miranda most recently tried to drag his opponent into a war of words
when he launched a stinging attack on the 28-year-old German. “I do not
think he is a good boxer at all, or a real champion. I will hunt him
down like a wounded pig and slaughter him. Abraham won´t hear the final
bell on June 21st,” was among the nicer things he said.

But Abraham could not care less about Miranda´s latest comments. He
stated: “Does anyone really care about what Miranda says? He should tell
his psychologist about his problems. Had I failed to beat a man who has
his jaw broken twice, I would have retired immediately and would rather
work as a night watchman.”

Meanwhile, coach Ulli Wegner is optimistic King Arthur´s US debut will
be a successful one. “The last time Miranda clearly lost on points. This
time Arthur will knock him out,” he predicted.
