Showing no fear of pain! Germany’s WBO Super Middleweight Champion Arthur Abraham, looks to strike an intimidating pose with barbed wire at his training camp, in preparation for defence of his title at the O2-World in Berlin later this month. Fortunately for his opponent, Britain’s Paul Smith, it’s staged and the blood and wire are fake!
