Fresh from of getting out of the Hospital for having his severely broken jaw operated on from his fight with Edison Miranda Arthur stated "I'm going to need a bit of a rest, I will most likely be in the gym in three of four months, it's mostly about the healing process." If this is the case chances are he may be stripped of the IBF title for not defending the title against a mandatory challenger in the allotted time constraint.
With a injury such as Arthur's, fighters usually can't fight for at least a year, if all goes well. So it might be quite some time before Arthur Abraham is back in the ring, maybe late 2007.

Marmeladka,
Santana is partly right here. Arthur is currently in recovery from a jaw surgery that he underwent after the Miranda fight. However I believe that there is no chance of him being stripped of the title. News currently are that the IBF decided to keep Edison Miranda as the number 1 contender and mandatory challenger for Arthur after all the controversy surrounding their match; that fifth round in particular, and they will definitely have a rematch sometime next year. The date has not yet been set because Abraham's recovery isn't complete. But one thing is sure, boxing fans all over the world have another truly spectacular match to look forward to, and when it does happen, there isn't a doubt in my mind that Arthur will take him out, long before the final bell (just like he would have done the first time, had there not been for that horrible injury) and prove him self a worthy champion and pound for pound one of the best boxers today once again.
