Former super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler is no longer the clean-faced 'Viking Warrior.' Kessler (46-3, 35KOs), 34-years-old, has been holding discussions with his promoter, Sauerland Event, regarding possible opponents for his anticipated ring return. Kessler has been out of the ring since last year's action-packed rematch with British rival Carl Froch, which the Danish star lost by way of a twelve round decision in May. There were widespread talks of a trilogy contest, but the two fighters are heading in separate directions for the moment.
