Arthur Abraham faces off against Jermain Taylor on SHOWTIME's Super Six World Boxing Classic starting this month on October 17. Abraham is undefeated in 30 fights (24 wins by knockout) and has home advantage with the fight taking place in Berlin, Germany.

In a recent teleconference, Abraham admitted he has never faced a fighter like Jermain Taylor: "Obviously, I've never been in the ring with a person like Taylor," stated Abraham.

Abraham went on to add that fighting on his home turf has doubled his motivation to put on a good show against Taylor: "It's a big honor and pleasure to fight in front of my home fans. It was great when I heard the news and it doubled my motivation to put on a good fight."
