Arthur Abraham: It was an honor to fight Jermain Taylor
Team Sauerland and King Arthur Abraham were relieved to hear that Jermain Taylor was able to leave the hospital on Sunday. He departed Berlin as originally scheduled and is now vacationing in Europe. "We are relieved to hear that Jermain is feeling better and that he could leave the hospital on Sunday," Team Sauerland General Manager Chris Meyer said. "The health is more important than a win or a loss. Jermain is a great fighter and a great champion."

And King Arthur Abraham added: "I was very sorry when I heard about him spending the night in hospital. I want to defeat my opponents in the ring but I do not want to harm them. The health is the most important thing and I am very happy that Jermain is doing fine. It was an honor to fight him." Abraham will now start a brief vacation himself. "I hope I get some time off from coach Ulli Wegner. Now that I know that Jermain is okay, I can start to celebrate my success - but only for a couple of days before I begin my preparation for Dirrell," boxingscene.com reported.
