Paul Smith: 'Arthur Abraham is a winnable fight'

British super-middleweight Paul Smith is hopeful of earning an opportunity to face WBO titlist Arthur Abraham in Germany in the summer.

Smith is ranked number three within the organisation, and with extensive talks having already been held with the German's camp, the British champion has revealed that he would be confident of winning his first world title.

The 31-year-old is quoted by RingNews24.com as saying: "I am happy to fight him absolutely anywhere because it is a world title challenge and it is a winnable fight for me.

"It is a fight that I know I can win and anybody looking knows that I have a chance."

Smith competes for the first time this year on Saturday when he faces David Sarabia in Cardiff.
