standard.co.uk June 6, 2017 Tuesday 11:04 AM GMT Chris Eubank Jr to fight Arthur Abraham at Wembley Arena in first defence of IBO super-middleweight title by Richard Parry Chris Eubank Jnr will look to defend his IBO super-middleweight title against Arthur Abraham. The fight is expected to take place at Wembley Arena on Saturday July 15, with ITV once again set to televise the event. The broadcaster screened Eubank Jnr's victory over Renold Quilan in February which handed the 27-year-old the title, but the Brit now faces a different proposition in Abraham. Born in Armenia before moving to Germany at the age of 15, Avetik Abrahamyan - better known as Arthur Abraham - is a former three-time, two-weight world champion. Holding both German and American citizenship, the 37-year-old is a heavily experienced operator, with 51 bouts to his name compared to Eubank's 25. A fight against a boxer ten-years his senior is comparable to Anthony Joshua's bout with Wladimir Klitschko in April, but Eubank is considered a heavier favourite. But since losing his last world championship to Gilberto Ramirez, and deciding against retirement, the 37-year-old has seen an upturn in form. It will be Abraham's first fight in the UK, and though the underdog going into this fight, Eubank cannot take anything for granted. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.standard.co.uk_sport_chris-2Deubank-2Djnr-2Dto-2Dfight-2Darthur-2Dabraham-2Dat-2Dwembley-2Darena-2Din-2Djuly-2Din-2Dfirst-2Ddefence-2Dof-2Dibo-2Da3557966.html&d=DwIBaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=LVw5zH6C4LHpVQcGEdVcrQ&m=L30cPM010Tx64ROYaoK_WBs-22XF2ZfGX1u6-XswB1w&s=ntFAZaijFYXO697ydoTnf3Hhk6bkOVb1P76DolbpbZs&e=
