It's all or nothing for ?King Arthur? ? Arthur Abraham ? when he battles Poland?s tough Piotr Wilczewksi at the Sparkassen Arena in Kiel, Germany in a fight card to be telecast on the popular weekly boxing show ?Big Time Bakbakan? over AKTV IBC 13 AT 12 Noon on Sunday.
Promoter Kalle Sauerland told the final pre-fight press conference that Abraham (33-3, 27 KO?s) faces what he considers his last obstacle to a world title when he clashes with Wilczewksi (30-2, 10 KO?s) for the WBO European super middleweight title.
The 32 year old Abraham who won the vacant European title with a 5th round knockout of Argentina?s Pablo Oscar Natalio Farias (19-1, 11 KO?s) last January 14 said he is ready to wage a battle royale befitting his ?King Arthur? status. He said ?It will be a tough fight, but I have trained well. We have trained very hard and I am in good shape. I will win on Saturday, that Is all I want to say right now.?
Abraham dropped a twelve round unanimous decision to the classy American Andre Ward last May 14, 2011 in the much-applauded ?Showtime? series and is ready to recover from that setback while the 33 year old Wilczewksi who is coming off an eight round split decision win over Serbia?s Geard Ajetovic last February 12 after a majority decision loss to former British Olympian James de Gale said he is ready to overcome missing the public workout due to an airport strike in Germany.
He said ?Being stuck at Munich airport was no problem for me. I just trained at the airport. I eventually reached Kiel at 20:30 last night. It does not bother me. I am ready for Abraham. We know what he will do and we don?t expect any surprises.?
