While boxing’s current longest-reigning champion Joe Calzaghe was honored today - marking 10 years of superstardom and 20 consecutive successful title defenses, his opponent Mikkel Kessler tried to rain on Joe’s parade and issued a few choice word to The Sun’s Gavin Glicksman. "Joe is a great champion, but I’m going to beat him," said Kessler. "I’m going to be 200 per cent better than my last fight and he’s going to get a big surprise. I’ve seen some of his fights and he’s never fought a guy like me before, that’s why he’s going to be in trouble. I hit straight. I hit hard. I hit directly. I’m going to show everyone I’m a bigger champion than he is." "I know Hans Christian Andersen is from Denmark, but If Kessler wants to believe in fairy tales, I suggest he read ’The Emperor’s New Clothes’ before he starts believing the tales his camp is telling him," responded Calzaghe. "Kessler is going to get exposed on November 3. I just hope I don’t get a hernia carrying all those belts out of the ring!"
The Sun has probably not talked to any of them.:roll: Kessler actually talked very respectful about Calzaghes title reign on team palles site and said that he couldn't imagine to do what Calzaghe had done regarding longevity. If you actually believe anything the Sun writes, then nobody can help you I'm afraid.
I didn't put it down as a fact i put it down becuase it's quite funny, talking about getting a hernia from carrying belts etc.
