    Because between Braehmer, Abraham, and Steiglitz the Euro scene is in position to make him some money right now...

    I'm sure he's set and all but imo there's some good opportunity out there for the Viking Warrior to do some pillaging if he wants to get back into it...

    Apparently he'll be ringside at Froch-Groves II, presumably with an eye on challenging the winner.

    Ah, that's no good, I want to see him in something winnable. Can't blame him though and he's surprised me before. Either way it'd be a massive payday for him.

    He should move up to 175, he should beat Braehmer with ease & set up a unification with Kovalev, HBO would pay big money for that fight.

    He still trains yes, but if he be back I dont know. He always said that would stop when he became a father, but if he gets a very good offer, who knows. Though he is very well set.

    Kessler working with young prospect Khattab in Copenhagen.
    My impression is he might be retired.
    He became a father last year. Some years ago he said he stop boxing when he become a father.

    yeah but didn't Hopkins promise his mother he'd stop boxing at 40?
    easy to make promises ahead of time. sometimes it's harder to keep them ;)

    If Kessler is all that the Vikings have to offer then they aint much, not much at all.
