Mikkel Kessler is Now Hinting at Possible Retirement

By Per Ake Persson

Former world champion Mikkel Kessler is now telling Danish media that he´s tired of waiting for the big fights and is hinting at retirement. Kessler announced about six months ago that he wanted to resume his career, but he also made it very clear he was only interested in the really big names such as Andre Ward or Carl Froch. There has apparently been talks with the various parties but this far nothing has materialized.
 
As late as four days ago, promoter Kalle Sauerland told BT that he had been in negotiations in New York and that a deal was close but wouldn´t go into details.
 
The 35-year old Kessler (46-3) last fought in May of 2013 when he lost a unanimous decision in his rematch with Carl Froch.
