On August 18, at the Max Schmeling Halle in Berlin, Germany,
fellow Armenian middleweight fighters meet in the ring. Current
IBF Middleweight Champion Arthur Abraham, 23-0, 18 KO’s, defends
his title against Khoren Gevor, 27-2, 15 KO’s, the IBF #5 ranked
mandatory challenger.

Although it appears that many are familiar with Arthur Abraham
and consider him as the favorite, Gevor and his trainer, Fritz
Sdunik, praise their efforts to be in the position to go for the IBF
Middleweight title. In Gevor’s opinion this is a great opportunity
is a long-ago dream.

Gevor boxed in Armenia and at a young age, discovered his passion
for boxing and since that time, his desire to accomplish something
honorable in boxing has been haunting him. Driven by destiny, Gevor
left the land of his ancestors for Germany at the age of 16.

With a successful amateur career that earned him 6 Armenian National
Titles in 75 fights in which he won 72, Gevor turned pro in 2000,
and ever since, he has only lost two fights which were back to back
for the International German Light Middleweight Championship to the
same Lukas Konecny in 2002.

Analyzing closely previous fights of Arthur Abraham, Khoren and his
trainer,Fritz Sdunek have realized the toughness of a skilled Abraham
and also found out that, despite that, Abraham is not unbeatable, and
an intensive training preparation that will help the highly motivated
Gevor Khoren upset Arthur Abraham has been set in motion. Tune in
Saturday to find who comes out the winner….
