MIRANDA
TO ABRAHAM:
“I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN.”
HOLLYWOOD, FL, November 21 – In response to a recent news item that saw
Wilfried Sauerland - promoter of IBF Middleweight ‘champion’ Arthur
Abraham – state that he expects his fighter to be back in action in
April while making no mention of his requirement to fight number one
contender Edison Miranda by June 23rd, ‘Pantera’ took time out from his
preparation for his HBO debut to make the following blunt comments.
“It was very interesting to read that Arthur Abraham has received offers
to fight in the United States in April,” said Miranda. “I truly hope
that the ‘champion’ is not looking to avoid his mandatory commitment to
me. Remember, Arthur, we have a date to fight no later than June 23 and
as the great Joe Louis said, “You can run, but you can’t hide.” I will
hunt you down if I have to.”
Miranda was robbed of the IBF title against Abraham on September 23rd in
Germany in one of the most controversial middleweight championship bouts
in history. After the 12 round controversial decision went against
Miranda, the IBF elected to keep the Colombian bomber in the number one
spot, thus mandating a rematch with the ‘champion’ as soon as Abraham
healed from the jaw Miranda broke in two places in the fourth round of
the bout.
Miranda will make the first defense of his “People’s Middleweight
Championship” as the headliner on HBO on December 16th against
hard-hitting Willie Gibbs. The bout will be held at Miccosukee Resort &
Gaming in Miami, Florida and will be televised live on HBO’s BAD series. |
