    Apologies that its not in English but I had my wife translate:

    "I'm in training, I'm allowed to run and hope to spar in 2-3 months at least and see how my eye holds up"

    "I'm on my way back, I will take as long as I need and I will show everyone that I'm a true world champion"

    "I'm proud that I have 205,000 on Facebook, thank you for all the nice messages and have a good xmas and new year"

    Not sure coming back is the wisest move.

    If his eye injury was as severe as claimed i'm not convinced a second war with Froch (If Froch is still WBC champion) would be the best move when considering his long-term health.

    I hope he is ready to fight the Super 6 winner as soon as it is over.

    Kessler's a class act and a top boxer. Hope he makes a full recovery and gets his revenge on Andre Ward.

    this is true, however you could have said the same about Leonard as well.

    Unless the doctors confirm the damage to his eyes has been repaired I would not like to see Mikkel back boxing.

    I hope he made enough and as far true champion he has nothing to prove in that regard.

    No point in having money and prestige if youve been beaten up so badly, mentally and physically that you dont know where you are. Would be nice to see him beat up ward though
