The German fighter also indicated the likelihood of another bout between the two. “I’m always happy to fight Arthur Abraham. I hope the managers reach agreement. I’m ready,” Stieglitz stated, Boxingscene reports.     As NEWS.am Sport informed earlier, WBO Super Middleweight Champion, Armenian boxer Arthur Abraham was unable to defend his champion’s title.  

In Saturday’s bout, Abraham was defeated, by technical knockout, to former champion Robert Stieglitz of Germany, and thus Stieglitz regained the champion’s belt. Abraham suffered an eye injury as a result of the hits he received. At the end of Round 3, the fight physician checked Abraham’s swollen eye and, as a result, he stopped the fight.  Arthur Abraham suffered his fourth defeat in professional ring.

But in line with the fight contract, if Abraham had won the bout, he was obligated to hold a rematch with Stieglitz.
