    WBA champion Andre Ward injury means that he is not Mikkel Kessler next task after Robert Stieglitz.

    Boxer Mikkel Kessler will have to wait a little longer to get revenge for the defeat against American Andre Ward in November 2009.

    If Mikkel Kessler WBO title fight against champion Robert Stieglitz of Germany on 5 November in Copenhagen, the WBA champion Ward not be the Danish SMW next opponent, says Kessler promoter Kalle Sauerland.

    Because Andre Ward has been forced to postpone the final of the Super Six tournament against the British WBC champion Carl Froch to 17 December.


    - Ward has just been injured, so for me, Ward is not an option for Mikkel before the middle of next year. So Ward is not the next fight, says promoter.

    - If Mikkel beats Stieglitz, we hope that he can box again in March. Ward will not be able to fight before December and then again in the summer. We are already looking at other opponents, said Kalle Sauerland.


    He mentions among others the Romanian IBF World Champion Lucian Bute as a possible opponent for Kessler.



    BRING ON BUTE :bbb

    but that's just speculation not based on reality. Ward will probably be back in the spring, April or May.

    I'd rather see Kessler vs Bute anyways and then the winner gets the S6 winner.

    Thats right. It all depends on how tough the final will be... Ward has fought more then 3 fights a year often enough so if nothing out of the ordinary happens in the final it wouldn't be a problem for Ward.

    But then again this is Kalle Sauerland speaking...

    True.

    Kessler will retur in March if everything goes according to plan. This could mean Kessler - Bute and the winner to fight the s6 winner for the undisputed championship.

    The problem with Sauerland is we don't know when he's telling the truth and when he's lying. He may have talked to Ward's promoter, he may not. The only thing we know is Bute-Kessler and Ward-Froch followed by both winners would make a unification of all four major belts. I buy that.

    That would justify Showtime's investment in the SMW division.

    That would be fine. I'd prefer talking about boxing than promoting for a change.

    Yeah, but there's still a giant promotional battle to come. Not only on choice of opponents but also for choice of venue.

    If the fight is made in Denmark I'll buy you a cold one if you show.
