This is what Fightnews wrote... Sturm rules out Abraham fight! WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm isn't optimistic that a unification bout against IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham will take place anytime soon. "I have already offered it 1000 times," Sturm told dpa. "I would welcome it with pleasure. But two things differentiate us: Sauerland talks a lot and we do a lot....I can't imagine that Mr. Sauerland would risk his only world champion against me." Sturm returns June 30 in Stuttgart against an opponent to be named. What he really said was: I have already BEEN offered it 1000 times. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
I'm confused. So you are saying Sturm doesn't want the fight, that Sturm is lying?:dunno: If so, have you heard of offers from Sauerland?
No, I think Fightnews got the translation mixed up. Not Universum offered the fight a 1000 times, but Sauerland made an offer, that still stands and Sturm thinks it´s fake, therefore he´ll not accept it. He says Sauerland is all talk and his promoter Universum is all action as you can see in Sturm´s tough schedule since the fight with De La Chubby. As you can see in general with the tough top notch opposition other Universum world champs like Erdei or Dzinziruk have faced. The only Universum world champion, who faces top notch opposition, meaning universally recognized top ten fighters in his division is WBA bantamweight champion Wladimir Sidorenko, who hasn´t been on German TV in years. ::
forgive me but is that Million? If it is, Sturm is an idiot, he won't ever get more than that fighting anyone else.
