    Kessler has a British parent. His mother is from England.

    I remember chatting to a load of Danish guys at Kessler v calzaghe. They were concerned they might have bother as calzaghe was home fighter. I explained we all loved Kessler over here. They were all 100% confident on their man I remember. Seemed totally shocked when he got schooled.

    Good call. It seems he was more known in the UK as WBO champ

    There a lots that come in this bracket, born in another country but moved to the UK, like Howard Eastman and Takaloo or even Dereck Chisora and Dillian Whyte.

    Why's it always yanks being brought over here to meet the fans etc.. like Mayweather, Briggs, Malignaggi seem popular over here, and Andre 'the bore' Ward seemed very popular when he came recently.

    I'd like to see the likes of Kovalev, Lomachenko, Golovkin, Usyk come over here on media tours.

    I'd like to see them Boxing, not so keen to see them commentating or media meet and greet, based on the fact they speak Russian and have about as much charisma as a plank of wood. Ward and Paulie give good analysis and we appreciate that, Shannon Briggs is a clown and brings comedy value. No idea why anyone would pay money to have a meet and greet with Mayweather, what a bunch of mugs.
