BOXING. Germany’s IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham will be
out for six months after it was confirmed he needs an operation on
a broken jawbone.

The 26-year-old Abraham sustained the injury in the fifth round of
his successful title defence against Colombian challenger Edison
Miranda late on Saturday.

Abraham, who was born in Armenia, defeated Miranda on points to retain
his title and his record of 22 fights unbeaten.
