Brian Nielsen, 48-years-old, and Hall of Fame promoter Mogens Palle, 81-years-old, are back in business and both received a promoter's license from the Danish Federation yesterday.
The two will work on a concept billed as Danish Fight Night.com. However, no fighters or shows has been announced and while the talk is that there´s a lot of talent in Denmark there are no obvious names.
Nielsen (64-3) retired in 2002 but returned in 2011 for a fight against Evander Holyfield while Palle with over 50 years in the business has been semi-retired since Mikkel Kessler left around 2008 for Sauerland Event. Nielsen is still regarded as the most popular Danish athlete ever.
It´s likely that Sauerland, who has dominated the Scandinavian scene for last few years, will stage more shows in Sweden during 2016 and perhaps also in Norway and less in Denmark and that may open the door for other promoters.
Also back in business are Anders and Allan Vester and the two promote a show in Kjellerup on October 31 topped by lightweight Osama Hadifi (11-0) and Dina Thorslund (3-0).
