Arthur Abraham is now in the final stages of his career and some questions did exist coming into tomorrow night’s ITV pay per view fight surrounding how much motivation he had left.
That question may now have been answered after he missed weight today first time around ahead of his fight with Eubank Jr in London tomorrow night.
For clarity, Abraham was one pound and 15 ounces over the limit for the IBO title limit at the first time of asking.
He has a couple of hours to make weight again at the second time of asking.
