The controversy over their 2006 bout has subsided some, but when it comes to their competitive fires, Edison Miranda and Arthur Abraham still believe they have some unfinished business to resolve. On Saturday, June 21st, in the US, these two world-class fighters will settle the score once and for all in a 166-pound special attraction that is destined to produce fistic fireworks. Abraham vs Miranda II headlines a night of professional boxing presented by Seminole Warriors Boxing Promotions and Sauerland Event. Showtime World Championship Boxing will televise this highly-anticipated rematch beginning at 9pm ET / PT.

?This is the matchup that all boxing fans should love and the type of fight that helps keep this great game alive,? said Leon Margules, Executive Director of Seminole Warriors Boxing. ?Miranda and Abraham didn?t need to take this fight, but they did, not only for their own legacies, but to give the fans what they?ve been asking for, and I expect that they will deliver in spectacular fashion this June.?

Wilfried Sauerland, Abraham?s manager, agreed that the first meeting was one for the ages. ?The first fight was certainly one of the most dramatic and exciting in recent years,? he said. ?Boxing fans all over the world have been waiting for a rematch and we?re pleased that King Arthur?s US debut will be such a highlight.? And Sauerland Event managing director Chris Meyer added: ?To make this fight possible, we asked the IBF to postpone King Arthur?s mandatory defence against Giovanni Lorenzo. After all, Abraham versus Miranda is the fight everyone wants to see.?

?Abraham and I have had a war in the ring with our fists and one outside of the ring with our words,? said Miranda. ?I?ll say this, I respect Abraham as a fighter and as a man for taking this fight, but on June 21st, I will leave nothing in the judges? hands like I did last time.?He could not defeat me when I had my jaw broken twice,? the undefeated champion said ?When I am fully fit, there is no way he can beat me. I am looking forward to the rematch.?

me. I am looking forward to the rematch.?

When Abraham defended his IBF world middleweight title against Miranda the first time in Germany on September 23, 2006, the two fighters lived up to the standards set by previous 160-pound greats as they battled tooth and nail for 12 torrid rounds. Abraham showed the heart of a champion as he fought on despite having his jaw broken by Miranda?s hellacious haymakers, and ?Pantera? showed that he belonged on the elite level as he did everything in his power to take the crown. The officiating from the referee placed an unfortunate cloud of controversy over what was one of the best fights of the year though, with Abraham emerging with his title intact via a unanimous decision. ?I have never fought someone as dirty as Miranda,? King Arthur said. ?But his low blows and head butts could not stop me.?

Getting your jaw broken twice and still winning is an incredible feat.

Abraham was amazing last night...can anyone say Pavlik vs Abraham.

I'd want that one but it looks like they are putting the old Raul Marquez with his unexpected win last night first. Marquez will be KO'd.

I'm so irritated right now. I went dirt biking so I set the DVD recorder up to record the repeat of their first fight. ****. Now I have to wait until Tuesday to watch this fight. I'm glad Abraham won though.

Yeah I noticed that on Fight News, shame really Pavlik fight would be good someone will leave with a 1 next to their record.

Pavlik leaves himself dangerously open at times for raw punchers like Abraham. They both KO'd Miranda so the bout would be intriguing.

Abraham's IBF belt stolen!

IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham's successful debut in America unfortunately had a bad ending. Arthur and his brother Alexander had their rental car broken into at the Miami Airport while looking for a cart to help move their luggage just before leaving for Germany on Monday. According to BILD, thieves got away with King Arthur's IBF championship belt, IBF ring, video camera, camera, mobile phone, laptop and various gifts.

That sucks. Welcome to Miami.

Thats funny actually, what will they do now then make him a new one then?

Yeah, they will probably make him a new one. I believe the belts go with the champ. They all get a copy if they were champion at some point I believe. I could be wrong.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
