    Next Kessler-fight likely on HBO.

    According to Mikkel Kessler's manager Mogens Palle, Kessler's next fight is almost certainly on HBO. Danish TV2 reports that Palle has sent HBO a list of different names Kessler is interested in fighting in the US.

    "HBO has told us that they are very satisfied with the list. It's big fights we're talking about" Palle says.

    Kessler is most interested in Calzaghe, but a return-fight seems unlikely, so Kessler has stated that his next major target is Kelly Pavlik.

    Sweet! I always enjoy watching the Kess box! Glad he's trying to avenge his loss with Joe or fight the next best thing in Pavlik...

        LOL, he still thinks he'll get a Calzaghe rematch, his queues big enough as it is lol, and he's 36 about to retire lol.

        Would love to see him beat Pavlik, that will silence some give Calzaghe **** for not fighting Pavlik. Theyre similar fighters, most think Kesslers better so what would Calzaghe have to prove beating a lesser version that was beaten by the better version, he beat.

        Sounds good to me, hope they get it on, good luck to Mikkel, but both guys are sound and have bright futures.

          Awesome... I hope we see Kessler/Pavlik. That would be a creat fight... Kelly has alot to do... Abraham, Kessler, Calzaghe... hopefully he won't fight Mora.

              Joe is out of the question I guess. As for Pavlik I have serious doubts if that fight can come off this year. It makes more sense for Pavlik fighting Abraham before moving up.

              Maybe we are looking at Mikkel Kessler vs. Jermain Taylor or Jeff Lacy in the fall.

                Yeah... you're probably right.

                  Yeah, Joe won't fight him again. It looks like Joe will just fight Roy and retire. I too would rather have Pavlik stay at MW and unify with Abraham and Strum before moving up.

                  Kessler vs. Taylor is a good fight IMO..

                    I think he should go for Lacy.

                    My money would be on Taylor if he was to fight Jermain.
