JAMIE Cox has said that he would be ready to face WBO world super-middleweight champion Arthur Abraham in November.

The Armenian-born title-holder announced this week that he will be making a voluntary defence of the belt he won last March.

Swindon’s WBO European super-middleweight champion Cox, who is back under Frank Warren’s promotional wing, would be willing to travel Hanover on November 21, if the fight could made.

Welshman Enzo Maccarinelli, also promoted by Warren, sent a tweet to Sauerland Promotion when they were looking for an opponent for their WBA world light-heavyweight champion Jurgen Braehmer, saying: ‘Let me check my diary that day. Guess what I’m free. Have passport will travel’.

Interest in the Maccarinelli-Braehmer fight snowballed and the fight was made in April 2014, which the German won with a fifth-round retirement due to massive swelling around the Swansea fighter’s eye after the pair clashed heads at the end of the first round.

Now Cox, who is ranked eighth by the WBO, is hoping stating his willingness to get in the ring with the Sauerland-promoted German-based fighter nicknamed ‘King Arthur’ will see him land a dream shot at a world title.

“Those are the kind of fights I want,” Cox told the Advertiser. “If the promoters can get it sorted, then that would be great.

“I want to be fighting the likes of Abraham, (Fedor) Chudinov or (Frank) Buglioni and I believe those fights are just around the corner.”

However, Cox must first deal with Spanish number one super-middleweight Marinano Hilario as he makes the first defence of the WBO European title he won in July.

The 2006 Commonwealth Games gold medallist was set to meet the Spaniard next week on the undercard of Chudinov and Buglioni's WBA super-middleweight title-fight at Wembley Arena.

But Cox has been laid low for the last week with a virus, which has forced him to postpone that bout until Saturday, October 10 at the Manchester Arena, on the undercard of Terry Flanagan’s defence of his WBO world lightweight title, while Liam Smith will fight for the vacant WBO world light-middleweight crown.

“I’ll be back in the gym this weekend and we are now looking at next month in Manchester,” Cox added.

“I’m going in there looking for the knockout. I want to look good and then we can look at a world title fight.

“To say I’m gutted to pull out of next weekend is a massive understatement but I’ll be ready for October, no worries about that.”
