According to Interbox chief Jean Bedard, there's talks between the camps regarding a fight early in the new year.
The fight could take place at 170 lbs.
Bute is a bum. Why doesn't Kessler offer Ward a fight in Denmark for a guarantee of $3-4 million plus upside? With Kessler's popularity in Denmark and Ward's accomplishments in the sport combined with the controversial nature of their first fight, they would easily be able to put 40K in Telia Parken, right?
They have offered Ward a fight. Ward asked for the offer. Got it. Said he would make a counteroffer but never did.
Ward is just not interested in fighting abroad. I frankly doubt Ward being interested in fighting at all.
I just want to see Kessler fight again. Bute looked as bad as i have ever seen him when he fought Pascal. Soooo bad, please watch that fight. But didn't look like he wanted to even be there in the first place
Kessler is clearly the better fighter, all things being even. But he is also old and rusty now. Bute has to step up against somebody eventually and I don't think this is a bad choice for him.
It's been a while for Kessler, but I'd still feel confident he rips Bute's head off.
Maybe. Not sure though man, Bute has the snap to keep him off....and he has deceptively fast hands.
But I agree in I'd pick Kessler by a decision...he's maybe the better boxer puncher overall.

Who knows? Probably Canada. I cannot see Bute fight an away fight ever again. He was petrified against Froch.
I could imagine.
Question is, if the fight wouldn't be richer in Denmark on PPV.
Does Bute fight on PPV in Canada?
Kessler would take it comfortably I think.
In Denmark or Canada?

I remember Mikkel was ringside for a Bute fight prior to the Candaian losing to Froch,not sure why the fight never came to fruition,maybe his handlers thought Froch was a softer touch on the back of the Ward loss or Hearn simply offered Jean Beddard better terms than the Sauerland's had ! I don't know.
I always begrudged Froch getting to Bute before Kessler did,taking his undefeated record first.
This is a top fight despite the recent misfortunes of both men,hoping it comes off,Mikkel by KO if it does.
Interbox offered Kessler 500K which ended negotiations right there. A ridiculous lowball.
At this point in time, they are ready to cash Bute out and frankly he is not without chances. Kessler is on his last legs and has been out of action for nearly 2 years.
