I said: \u2018Hi Mike, I\u2019m Arthur Abraham. I\u2019m boxing here at the MGM Grand this weekend\u2019. He said he knew who I was and he wished me luck against Ramirez. That was a special moment for me. I told him that he was my idol and that it was after seeing him on TV that I wanted to become a boxer!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Abraham\u2019s coach Ulli Wegner acknowledges this fact: \u2018\u2019When Arthur first came to the gym, with only a plastic bag and a couple of old sneakers in his hand, he said he wanted to be World Champion like Tyson. Meeting him now before the fight was a big deal. This will motivate him even more.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Abraham faces a tough test against the undefeated Mexican Ramirez, and with a victory, he can become the first German fighter to win a World title bout in Las Vegas. To defend his title, Tyson offered the following advice: \u2018\u2019Arthur, you got to do it like me \u2013 win by knockout. You can do it &#8211; knock this guy out!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Abraham says he is happy to oblige: \u2018\u2019If Mike Tyson says I should knock him out, then I should knock him out.
