Mikkel Kessler is preparing for battle. The Danish fighter, Mikkel This content is protected . He expexts to fight in June. "...yet to find his next opponent....". :huh . It sounds as if it could be one from the local bar. Well, I guess it doesn't really matter at this point, as long as we get to see some action. :good Oh! By the way. If you read this Team Palle. How about trying to plan two fights ahead next time around. I mean, just in case...... . It can't be that hard. You either take a dump or get off the pot!

New Press Release from Today (source BT.dk): In danish: Mikkel Kessler kan efter en veloverstået operation af højrehånden nu se frem til at få sin store drøm om en ny VM-kamp til at gå i opfyldelse. Det sker i en storstilet VM-kamp den 21. juni, skriver Team Palle i en pressemeddelelse. - Jeg er indstillet på at gennemgå et meget skrapt træningsprogram. Det er klart, at absolut intet i mine forberedelser må overlades til tilfældighederne, nu da jeg har fået min store drøm om en ny VM-kamp opfyldt – og endda inden Skt. Hans, siger Mikkel Kessler. Modstanderen vil dog først blive offentliggjort på et pressemøde den 7. maj. Promoter Bettina Palle garanterer dog, at der bliver tale om et af de helt store navne, som den tidligere danske champ skal møde. English Translation (my attempt): After having recuperated well after hand surgery Mikkel Kessler now look forward to fulfilling his big dream of becoming World Champ again. It's going to take place in a big fight on 21. of june according to Team Palle. "Mikkel says he's ready to undertake a severe training regime for the fight." He continues. "Nothing should be left to chance now that I finally got my dream of another world title fight fulfilled." The opponent will be announced on 7. of May. Promotor Bettina Palle garanties an opponent found among the absolute top fighters. ------------------------------- FINALLY!!! :good
Now who can it be? Froch maybe? (Would he really come to Denmark)? Is he a top fighter? Mundine No! Bute No! Calzaghe No! Hmm who can it be=?
I created a thread where folks can guess. Thought it might do for 48 hours of fun until the announcement. Go there and take a guess if you like.
Seeing as though Mundine has some news to tell next week, :think:think:think:think Im a happy happy man
Pavlik has come under fire because Arum is doing exactly this. Like I stated elsewhere, it is a GOOD THING for a promotor to be looking ahead. If is a BAD THING for a fighter to do the same. Arum has proved that his plans are very fluid and have already been changed several times. Duddy was scrapped because he wouldn't be ready by June? Guess when Duddy's next fight is?
I've heard, second hand, that Team Palle is going to talk to Warren at The Hall of fame meeting in New York soon about a possible Calzaghe-KesslerII in 2009. Also that the RJJ camp have reached reality talks with the Kessler camp concerning a fight to take place in the US or Denmark and hosted by the HBO. Can anyone confirm this second hand info???
Do you have anything that indicates Warren will dislike the idea right away? Just curious. My personal impression is that Palle knows it's a long shot but one can always ask.
