Tomorrow in Berlin world IBF middleweight champion Artur Aprahamyan
will defend his title against fifth-ranked Khoren Gevori. Allboxing.ru
informed that during a press conference Aprahamyan stated he was
in excellent physical condition, and that it would be made evident
during the match.
His Armenian opponent then stated that his training and condition
would enable him to withstand anything thrown at him by Aprahamyan.
In the words of Aprahamyan’s promoter, Wilfred Jverland, after his
victory over Miranda, he is quite well known, and that appearances
are planned in the United States. Gevori’s trainer, Fritz Jdunek,
says that all things aside, he knows Aparaham is the favorite, but
that favorites too are defeated. He expects the fight to last 12
rounds and for Gevori to come out on top.
We remind that Aprahamyan has won all 23 of his fights, with 18 as
knockouts. Khoren Gevori (Gevorgyan) was born in 1979 in Echmiadzin,
and now lives in Hamburg, Germany, as does Aprahamyan. The match will
take place under the German flag.
