Abraham aims to stop Bouadla early

Arthur Abraham (35-3, 27 KOs) has entered the ring in Nuremberg, Germany on two previous occasions. However, the December 15 fight against Mehdi Bouadla (26-4, 11 KOs) will be his first time as WBO super middleweight champion. “Mehdi Bouadla is a real fighter,” said Abraham about his challenger, who is rated WBO #13. “He is always looking for one-on-one situations. I am hoping to stop him early in order for him not to land as many hard shots in return. Those could be very dangerous.” As for his plans for the future, King Arthur states, “First, I want to win on December 15. Once the new year has started, I will start thinking about my next steps. I want to hold on to my title for quite a while!”
