IT now seems almost certain Joe Calzaghe will fight Mikkel Kessler on November 3 in Cardiff — and the fight will smash all British box office records.
I’ve just got a few loose ends to tie up — including some with Joe — but all the major obstacles have now been overcome.
Most importantly of all, I’ve agreed terms with Kessler’s team, who are happy to come to the UK.
The fight will probably be held at the Millennium Stadium, where we got a crowd of 35,000 for Calzaghe’s WBO super-middleweight title defence in April against Peter Manfredo Jr.
With Kessler bringing his WBA and WBC titles to the party, I expect at least 60,000 to be in attendance. As a result, both fighters will be getting career-high purses
