"The Viking Warrior' Mikkel Kessler (46-3, 35KOs) is still hungry for a trilogy fight with IBF/WBA 'regular' super middleweight champion Carl Froch. Kessler won the first bout with a hard fought twelve round decision in Denmark in 2010, and last May he lost the rematch by way of a twelve round decision at the O2 Arena in London.
Kessler has been inactive since the rematch with Froch. He still intends to continue his career but wants a big fight. Recently Froch's rival, George Groves, signed a contract with Kessler's promoter Sauerland Event. Kessler says it's still too early for him to face Groves, but he's more than ready for another go with Froch.
"I am sitting by the phone, hoping sometthing is going to happen soon and I want a big fight - a decider with Carl. I don't know whether he wants to fight me, but who is he going to fight? Of course Andre Ward is a big one as well," Kessler said.
"I know I lost that last one, so of course I am telling everybody I want this guy. Of course I would like to fight Carl, that's my biggest wish. "I believe I am still in the top game - not that Groves isn't because he's a great fighter. I want the rematch with Carl instead of fighting the new fighters first to get the bigger ones."
