Arthur Abraham, Paul Smith rematch scheduled for February

Abraham, Smith rematch scheduled for February

Promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that a deal has been agreed for a rematch between WBO super-middleweight champion Arthur Abraham and Paul Smith.

In their first fight in September, Abraham was awarded a unanimous decision, but the scores of 117-111, 117-111 and 119-109 were hotly disputed by Smith after he produced a performance that led to many believing that he had done enough to edge the verdict.

However, a deal has been reached between Hearn and Abraham's promoter Kalle Sauerland to stage a second contest in Berlin on February 21.

Hearn has also revealed that a number of British fighters will appear on the undercard, while heavyweight David Price, who is promoted by Sauerland, could also return from a bicep injury.
