    Teampalle has stated, that Mikkel Kessler is fighting in the US on March 14th.

    Mogens Palle will not disclose the opponent, but hopes to announce the fight within the next few weeks.
    Palle also states that Froch is an "interesting opponent", but that he is setting his sights solely on US-based fighters for the March fight.

    Who will the Viking Warrior face come March 14th ??

    I think it's gonna be Wright whilst Taylor and Froch face off.

    I sure as hell don't hope the Berrio rumours are true...

    Green. Easy fight and more famous than most.

    I like him to face Wright. I'm curious how his jab will fare against the turtle-shell defense of Winky.

    Hmm Boxrec rankings on the options are as follows:

    Lacy 14
    Taylor 2
    Ward 39
    Green 16
    Bika 4
    Hopkins 2 (light heavy)
    Wright not rated

    Actually Bute is based in the american continent, and could be televised on prime time US TV, but is Bute a big enough name for HBO/Showtime ???

    Mogens Palle (Kesslers promoter) is a chicken and will never allow Kessler to fight anyone who is even close to beat his man in an none title fight.

    He's tried to get a Hopkins fight up and running for a while now, and he has more than a chance of beating him IMO. And he called out Calzaghe for bloody ages.

    I hope he fights Hopkins. It would be interesting how he would fair given that he is a come-forward fighter like Pavlik. Obviously he is much more skilled than Pavlik but he would have to adopt a different style to breach Hopkins' defence.

    He'll probably end up fighting Berrio. I'd love it if he fought Winky though...

    I think he confused Haussler with Hasselhoff.
