Kessler v Magee, Degale v Sanvia Doubleheader on 4/21

There were rumors that Abraham will face Stieglitz, but I think is better if Kessler-Stieglitz happen. The WBO belt needs to be in better hands that could unify later against guys from the top of the division like Bute, Ward, and who knows maybe Froch would get a belt from Bute or the WBC, where he ranks high.

Food for thoughts, If Froch-Bute do happen for the IBF, who will be in line for the vacant WBC to face Anthony Dirrell ?

 

I read that Abraham could be fighting that Pole DeGale fought for the Euro title :think

 

Never read that. Kessler would probably pull out of the Stieglitz fight in two conditions:
- If he face Ward next for a megapayday and retribution in a fight for WBA/WBC.
- If he will be granted a fight against Anthony Dirrell for the WBC.

In those two cases Abraham would normally would take his place in fighting Stieglitz for the WBO.

Note: WBC is not vacant yet, Ward probably will still hold it for at least 1 more fight.

on the ebu website forthcoming contest list it has degale fighting sanvia on the 21st April in Denmark so this rumour maybe be good

 

it still makes no sense to me that an Italian promoter would bid so high for a fight and then put it in Denmark.

 

agree

 

Yeah thats what i thought as well. Unless they are allowing the Italians to co-promote it, with a few of their fighters on the undercard?

Either way, it'll be good for Degale to get out again. He'll knock Sanvia out

 

I still think there's a chance Degale will pull out? whats the latest between him and Fwank anyhow, its all gone a bit quiet?

 

Unless they got a good deal from Sauerland?

Maybe Fwank is involved as well . With it being on a Sauerland show Boxnation will show it.

 

News from other place...

According to sources in Italy, EBU super middleweight champion James DeGale will indeed defend his title in Denmark, against Italian mandatory challenger Cristian Sanavia. Sources in Italy state the location is a done deal.

However, while Round Zero of Italy won the purse bids, the promoter of the fight will be Sauerland Event.

As BoxingBEEN.com previously reported, the date of the fight is April 21 - at least according to the European Boxing Union - but that has yet to be confirmed.

Kalle Sauerland confirmed to Danish sources that Mikkel Kessler, as planned, will take on WBO super middleweight champ Robert Stieglitz on April 14 - which kills the rumor of Kessler facing Brian Magee for the WBA's interim-title with Sanavia-DeGale as the co-feature.James DeGale - according to Italian sources - could be on his way to being signed to a promotional deal with Sauerland.
