Arthur Abraham Wants to Teach Armenian Boxers Foreign Languages

Professional German boxer of Armenian descent Arthur Abraham is preparing to open a professional boxing school in Yerevan, where apart from athletic disciplines, boxers will study English and German in depth.

“If a boxer doesn’t know [a foreign] language, he can’t achieve success outside [of Armenia] — he can only obtain success in Armenia,” said Abraham, speaking to journalists in Yerevan today.

Abraham mentioned that the plan of opening a school might be realized in a few years, when he concludes his athletic career, since he is currently focused on his work and such a school would require much attention.
