"King" Arthur Abraham is a warrior in the most classical sense. Perhaps known most for his 2006 fight against Edison Miranda, Abraham fought the majority of rounds with his jaw broken in two places. He won a unanimous decision in a bloody slugfest that night, and later had two titanium plates and 22 surgically implanted screws to repair his jaw.
He was born in Armenia but moved to Germany when he was 14. It was in Germany that he picked up an unlikely hobby, bicycling. His love for cycling led him to the South German Championships twice, but Abraham gave up cycling at the age of 18 to pursue a career in boxing.
He turned pro in 2003 and won the IBF middleweight world championship soon after with a stunning TKO victory over Kingsley Ikeke (2005). Abraham has shown tremendous versatility in the ring, good defense and movement, and impressive punching power. He has never been knocked down in his entire career..
