Martin Murray will challenge Arthur Abraham for the WBO World Super Middleweight title at the TUI Arena in Hannover, Germany on November 21 live on Sky Sports and Sat.1.

The St Helens man will be hoping to claim World honours at the fourth time of asking. Having made the move up to Super Middleweight, following a brave attempt at the formidable Kazakh Gennady Golovkin’s Middleweight titles and titanic tussles for the World titles of Felix Sturm in Germany and Sergio Martinez in Argentina, the 33 year old has recorded three wins inside the distance, and believes now the time has come for him to claim boxing’s ultimate prize.

“I am thrilled to have the chance to face Arthur for the WBO World Super Middleweight title,” said Murray. “I was shocked when Arthur agreed to the fight, it's one he didn't have to take so must be confident but I am at my natural weight now and believe on November 21 I will become World champion.

Abraham, the 35 year-old from Berlin, will be aiming for a fifth successive defence of his WBO strap following a devastating sixth-round technical knockout victory over domestic rival Robert Stieglitz, and the two-time World Champion is expecting a tough test against his battle hardened opponent Murray.

Abraham is no stranger to fighting British opposition. Most recently he squared off against former British Champion Paul Smith in two competitive championship contests. As he prepares to face another Brit, the German fighter has drawn comparisons between Murray and his former opponent Smith.

Murray title tilt is part of a huge night of World championship action on Sky Sports as Anthony Crolla hosts Darleys Perez at the Manchester Arena in a rematch for the WBA World Lightweight title.

Murray’s promoter Eddie Hearn added: “I'm delighted to deliver this shot for Martin on a huge night of World Championship boxing on Sky Sports. It's a fight Martin and his team have been asking me for since he signed with us and the opportunity that I believe will see him realise his dream of becoming World Champion.”

The WBO World Super Middleweight Championship fight between Arthur Abraham and Martin Murray will be broadcast live on Sat.1 in Germany and Sky Sports in the UK. Tickets are available online via www.tickethall.de and www.eventim.de
