Alexander Abraham takes fight in France

Press Release: IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham will travel to Pont-Audemer, France to support his younger brother Alexander (19-0-1, 14 KOs), who will box against French 154-pounder Mehdi Azri (12-5, 2 KOs) on May 6, 2008.  "Alexander is very close to my heart," said King Arthur. "He has supported me a lot of times. I want to keep my fingers crossed for him in France too. He is undefeated, if he wins he will have good chances to make bigger fights.

The main event will feature Ali Chebah (24-0, 18 KOs) against Nicaraguan Nelson Lara (15-1, 8 KOs) in a 140-pound clash.
