He's being lined up for a fight against Kessler as a first defense. Fighting Degale makes no odds in terms of plans, they have simply stated the should he lose to Degale the fights out the window and if he wins then thats upto him as Degale carries no stock at euro/world level. It begs the question, why would the euro champ come over to uk to defend his strap in a fight he would probably get robbed in even if he was winning. Why would you risk a potential £massive payday just to fight Degale when your prosper with sweet **** all bar a £100k or summat for doing so. I wouldn't fight Degale if I were in his shoes, would you? Who needs a banana skin like that?
Seriously? That's bollocks.... hopefully Showtime tell Kalle to **** off and sort a proper opponent out. I agree though I'd give DeGale the swerve, if he was unbeaten I'd be there in a flash. That's why I can't understand Maloney with this ''nobody will fight Price or Jeffries, we've offered them but they don't want to know'' guff. Highly paid, highly hyped amateur, Olympic medallist, unbeaten as a pro..... erm, yes please. Even if you achieved nothing else, to say you were the one that knocked them over :yep Look at people saying Woodhouse shouldn't take the Gavin fight (on here and Boxrec) - even though I scored the fight to Gavin comfortably (9-3) he will have gained a lot from that fight, both experience and confidence that he can go on and win titles.
gotta think about it like this Beeston. Showtime want S6Winner vs Bute first and then Kessler fights the winner. To keep Kessler in the picture they pay him a small amount to show an easy fight from Denmark.
Kessler lost some doe when he had all that **** with his old management team so he needs some good paydays before retiring. The fact your moaning about him fighting a soft touch opponent who happens to be euro champ just shows how much of a fighter he is. Burns is knocking over cans now for fun ffs. Exactly! Only way this fight goes thru is if Sauerland want it too! Degale would make a great opponent for Mikkel and Frank could make some good cash.in trading Degale in possibly?
