This is some info I found on a german boxing site. I hope my translation is adequate:
Sartison is born in Kazachstan and raised in Germany. He had an outstanding amateur career with 115 fights and only 10 losses. Won a silvermedal at the worldchampionships as a junior.
His trainer Magomed Schaburow says: "Sartison more than deserves this shot. I'm so happy for him because he has worked for a titlefight in more than a year. In this fight he's surely the underdog, but as you know: In boxing anything can happen."
To fight in Kessler's backyard will not be a problem as Satison has fought away from home in Poland, Tcheck-republic and Hungary. "I'm really exited of fighting in Copenhagen. Absolutely delighted! A titleshot is obviously what I've worked for. I've had a lot of injuries that I have fought trough and now it's paying off. I've been in trainingcamp near Moscow and you can't prepare any harder than that. The rest of my preparation will take place in Hamburg." Sartison said. "I'll take the title back to Germany!"

Finally found a fight with Dimitri Satison.
It's Dimitri Sartison vs Pablo Daniel Nievas (NSV).

Kid looks solid.
Similar style to Kessler - classic standup boxer-puncher, but a little too raw for Kessler at this point in his career.
Expect he'll come to win & give it his best shot though.
NOTE: watch NSV movies with WinAMP or KMPlayer:

Kessler isn't ducking anybody, he would demolish Miranda Froch and Mundine ... He earned his respect in the Calzaghe fight, don't take it away from him cause of some dodgy managing and match making fuck ups, he will fight them in the future.
now its even more obvious that he ducked miranda
Why fight Miranda for nothing when you got the option to win a belt? He is ducking shit....
Is Miranda some king of superstar in the states or something?
1:
Miranda - Kessler negotiated for a "Show-fight" on Show time, 10 rounds, just not in Miranda's backyard Florida.
2:
Miranda called Kessler a "kitten" in the press trying to force the fight.
3:
Kessler was then suddenly ranked #1 at WBA. Kessler dropped the Miranda fight to claim a fight with Mundine for the WBA regular tittle
4:
Miranda's team say they wanted to take legal action against Kessler
5:
Mundine, who had call out a rematch for years, turned down the Kessler fight , because Mundine rather would fight Soliman, who had a signed agreement
6:
Kessler went back to Miranda. Miranda at the time now was WBA #2 and was offered a WBA regular title fight in Florida on HBO.
7:
Miranda turned down the fight and instead signed a rematch with Abraham for a "Showfight"
If you will judges fighters, please respect the facts first. If you think Kessler is ducking Miranda
Is that what they actually do and not just your interpretation? They really do use the words 'regular' and 'super'? If so that is probably the most ridiculous thing I have ever encountered in boxing (after Audley Harrison).
What is this, McDonalds?
Apparently.

It's the truth. I didn't even mention the intercontinental belts.
Agreed. It's alphabetboys politics. WBA is smart. When they have a champ who wins another of the big belts he is elevated to 'SUPERCHAMP' (thats JoeC). Then they make 2 contenders fight for a 'REGULAR' championship. The 'REGULAR' champion today is Anthony Mundine but he is getting stripped of his title for refusing to fight his mandatory (Kessler), so now Kessler as the no.1 contender gets to fight the highest ranked available which is Sartison who's no. 4.
In this 'brilliant' fashion WBA is able to maximize earnings by getting sanctioning fees from 2 champions. Yuck.

Good stuff!
But i hate this being called a TITLE fight.
Joe Calzaghe holds the WBA belt!!
Orginisations should have just one champion, there are enough belts around already without this added shit.
