    Both will pick up $2 million each, just to agree a date a venue in the UK.

    "Seen" the dates. Sounds like Bute isn't gonna exercise his rematch clause? April or June?

    I've seen these rumors the last couple of days in danish newspapers, but not that is should be a done deal this week. Only that they are close, very close to make it happend.
    It will be in England (of course), most likely in London or Manchester. And the date will be around may - june.

    Kessler is too honorable for his own good.

    Fighters promise rematches all the time, but rarely follow through... and even rarer do they agree to have it in the opponents backyard.

    Always a war between these two. No doubt it'll be Kessler's best pay day. I heard Froch's girlfriend was giving him hassle about continuing to fight, so hopefully he is mentally ready.

    **** Ward, these guys are getting £2 million to fight each other in the UK. Why go to jOakland and fight Ward for peanuts? They should have a trilogy instead. If Ward wants to make some of that money, he needs to stop fighting the likes of Pavlik and get himself over to the UK :deal


    Kessler is a gent and a scholar, who's very popular with UK fans. Will be an honour to see these warriors go at it again, I'm a big Froch fan, but I'm neutral here as I can't root against Kessler

    Sweet. Thought Kessler looked very good against Magee. This should be a war between 2 class acts.
    Looks like itll be over here too. Obviously ill be wanting Froch to win but Kessler's great, good guy and a right hard *******.
    This could be decided on bodyshots, both susceptible to a crack to the ribs and both have solid jaws.
