    As a dane I am sad to report, that Brian Nielsen will make a comeback to the ring. According to Kalle Saurland he will fight a big name in Copenhagen around 27th of November.

    Brian Nielsen is 45 and have had knee surgery just in order to begin training (and he was never never THAT athletic to begin with).
    Brian Nielsen will not get a tune-up fight before fighting Holyfield in November (or whomever he wlll be fighting).

    Rumors also have it, that he will be fighting Evander Holyfield. I guess both of them are in need of money.

    Sometimes it is really hard to take boxing seriously.

    The WBF belt will become the belt of the veterans

    Maybe that's what Valuev's waiting on- he's just angling for the superfight against the winner of Nielsen-Holyfield.

    As for this fight, I imagine it's going to look something like a game of Rock 'em Sock 'em robots...where the buttons are broken.

    Well well.............Why not give Brian Nielsen the benefit of the doubt. He can fill any arena in Copenhagen, so money wise.............fine !.

    And if he wins - next fight Super Brian vs. The Beast from the East...............two elegant athletic sportsmen in a ring balet of boxing...............:bbb

    Has this been sanctioned as a SNV eliminator?

    I kinda doubt this. I don't think they will be able to sell out Parken or the iikes. While Brian Nielsen was always a kind of a laughing stock, rather than a celebrated athlete, I think people will pity him more this time around.

    Yes, that would really... be something....

    Only belt that matters!...Besides the WBA belt...for the great history, involving SNV. Of course. I can't wait to see these two ATGs in the ring together!

    Actually I think it is 93.

    BN = 45 and EH = 48.

    When they meet for the eagerly anticipated rematch (Nielsen-Holyfield II - Battle of the elders) in 3 1/2 years they will be a hundred years together.
