PanARMENIAN.Net – Former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham is
now in Armenia not only for recreation but also for some benevolent
purposes.
“I started boxing in the school after Vladimir Yengibaryan and trained
there for four years. I would like to thank my school and coaches and,
together with Adidas company, to gift some the sports equipment at
the amount of ~@100 thousand to the school. The young boxers will
thus have all necessary things for training,” Abraham told a news
conference on June 17.
The Armenian boxer also plans to establish a new boxing school in
Yerevan to train young sportsmen. He noted that the boxers will
study foreign languages in the school, particularly, English and
German. “To get world popularity the boxer should necessarily speak
foreign languages; that is why besides physical and tactical exercise
they must study languages,” he said.
According to Abraham, he is keeping up with the Armenian sport
and supporting Armenian sportsmen. “I always enjoy when Armenians
demonstrate their strength at international tournaments. I am very
glad that the Armenian national football team play well and show
striking results,” the boxer said.
