Abraham has also defeated world-class opponents such as Martin Murray, Paul Smith darbtejn, Lajuan Simon, Edison Miranda darbtejn, Khoren Gevor, Sebastian Demers, Kofi Jantuah, Kingsley Ikeke, Robin Krasniqi u Howard Eastman.
Four of Abraham’s five career losses have been to world champions Carl Froch, Andre Ward, Stieglitz and Gilberto Ramirez.

“I will make sure that I’m in top shape and ready to secure a great victory,” Abraham remarked. “I know Chris Eubank, Jr. huwa ġellied tajba, like his dad. I’m expecting a tough fight, but I am confident I will beat him.”
