"Last week, Frank Warren, promoter of WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, said Calzaghe would be willing to travel to face WBC/WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler in his native Denmark. Kessler has responded in an ITV Boxing interview saying he's willing to travel to England to fight Joe. "I haven't got any problem whatsoever with fighting Calzaghe anywhere in the world," stated Kessler. "Besides I'm more English than him," alluding to the fact that Calzaghe's father was born in Italy and his mother is from Wales. "My mother is from Salisbury," continued Kessler. "That must give me some fans, at least in England!""

Its true, this fight is all bull****, one min calzaghe's going over to denmark and the fight just has to be finalised, now this bull**** comes up, nothing has been sorted, what a ****in joke.

Anybody read Frank Warren's column? Apparently hes still waiting for a reply from Kessler's promoter after saying Calzaghe will go to Denmark to fight him.

Palle’s daughter said the reason the fight hasn’t been signed is because her old man is still in hospital. Really I couldn’t give a **** where it happen, so long as it happens.

Seems Palle tried to convince Kessler to fight for peanuts in Denmark.

Kessler says that if he has to take a smaller purse than Calzaghe for the fight to happen in Denmark - then he would rather fight in the UK. Seems Palle tried to convince him to fight for a smaller purse

He must know it's his last big pay day so he's trying to get as much as he can.
