Μόνο 27 ετών, the British-born Eubank Jr. (24-1, 19 KOs) enters the contest with less experience than Abraham but with power, a mean streak, and meaningful boxing pedigree. Eubank Jr. έχει νικήσει 16 τελευταία του 17 fights by stoppage.
Ο πατέρας του, Chris Eubank Sr. (45-5-2, 23 KOs), είναι ένας πρώην World Boxing Οργανισμού (WBO) super middleweight and middleweight world champion. Eubank Sr. co-trains and manages his son, in addition to being an idiosyncratic presence in and around his son’s fights, and the British fight scene.
A former Interim World Boxing Association (WBA) Middleweight Παγκόσμιος Πρωταθλητής, Eubank Jr. captured the IBO title this past February, στάθμευση Renold Quinlan (11-1, 7 KOs) στην 10ουγύρος. His July 15ου fight versus Abraham will mark the confident young champion’s first IBO title defense.
“Abraham is a strong, come forward fighter,” Eubank Jr. είπε, “αλλά αυτός είναι μονοδιάστατη. He’s very good in that one dimension, but a one-dimensional fighter cannot beat me. I see a lot of holes in his game and I’m going to exploit those holes ruthlessly.”
The IBO No. 1 rated Abraham (46-5, 30 KOs) fights out of Berlin, Γερμανία. “Βασιλιάς” Arthur is a two-time WBO super middleweight world champion, as well as a former International Boxing Federation (IBF) middleweight παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής. The powerful Armenian has a sensational 18-4 (9 KOs) record in world championships, 7-4 (4 KOs) against former or current world champions. Noted victims during his 17-year professional career reads like a Who’s Who of Boxing in the 160- and 168-pound divisions, including world champions Raul Marquez, Hector Javier Velazco, Jermain Taylor, Robert Stieglitz thrice, και Giovanni De Carolis. Abraham has also defeated world-class opponents such as Μάρτιν Μάρεϊ, Paul Smith δυο φορές, Lajuan Simon, Edison Miranda δυο φορές, Khoren Gevor, Sebastian Demers, Kofi Jantuah, Kingsley Ikeke, Robin Krasniqi και Howard Eastman.
Four of Abraham’s five career losses have been to world champions Ο Carl Froch, Andre Ward, Stieglitz and Gilberto Ramirez. Stieglitz is the only opponent to stop Abraham, ο οποίος έχει κερδίσει 10 τελευταία του 11 αγώνες, the most recent a 12-round unanimous decision win over Krasniqi (46-4, 17 KOs) this past April in Germany.
“I will make sure that I’m in top shape and ready to secure a great victory,” Abraham remarked. “I know Chris Eubank, Jr. είναι ένας καλός μαχητής, like his dad. I’m expecting a tough fight, but I am confident I will beat him.”
Also airing live is the 12-round International Boxing Federation (IBF) Featherweight World Championship match as popular Welshman “Αστραπή” Ο Lee Selby (24-1, 9 KOs) makes his third defense of the title he captured May 30, 2015, when he won an eighth-round technical decision over previously unbeaten Evgeny Gradovich (19-0-1, 9 KOs).
Selby will be challenged by former WBA Featherweight World Champion Jonathan Victor “Yoni” Barros (41-4-1, 22 KOs), της Αργεντινής, who is the IBF No. 1 αντίπαλος.
