Sport: Boxing King Arthur Abraham denies flu rumor; on schedule for Dirrell fight

King Arthur Abraham’s camp have dismissed rumors suggesting that the boxing champ’s upcoming bout was in jeopardy due to his having flu.

Earlier several boxing-covering media outlets reported that a title fight as part of Super Six World Boxing Classic originally scheduled for January 23 could be postponed till March 7 and cited Abraham’s severe case of flu apparently interfering with his training routine ahead of the fight with Michigan’s Andre “The Matrix” Dirrell.

of course, if media is smart enough to get the information from Gary Shaw rather than from Abraham's camp, surely that's the kind of result you'll get from the source reports (Gary Shaw). it too puzzled me well, when i came across several different reports that none of them were consistent nor supporting the common subject. first report stated that AA was suffering from a severe flu, then 21 hours later i red another report stating that AA was missing his training sessions, told by his trainer Uli Wegner. so there more speculations about AA yet to surface.
