No Winky for Kessler. Mads Larsen calls Kessler a child!

[BattlingNelson]

Looks like the rumours regarding an upcoming fight between Winky Wright and Mikkel Kessler, launched by our favorite boxing oracle Dan Rafeal of ESPN, is false.

Today Kessler's promotor Mogens Palle firmly says that those rumours are untrue: "HBO wants to make a fight with Kessler on March 14 but Winky is NOT in our sight. Wright has turned us down earlier so we are looking in another direction".

Palle will not reveal any names.

In other news from the danish scene drums are still beating for an all danish clash between Mads Larsen and Kessler. Kessler calls Larsen unqualified and Larsen says that he's tired of hearing that from Mikkel. "But let the child have some fun", Larsen says to TV2.dk.

Larsen probably fights Bute next if he wins on saturday as his promotor Sauerland has an option on a Bute-defense.

35 year old Larsen fights the italian Cocco on the Valuev-Holyfield undercard this saturday.

Too bad that's not happening.

Right it could have been a good one, but unfortunately Dawson turned down a fight at a catchweight despite him calling the lighter man out.

But the fight might come off eventually when Kessler loses or grows out of SMW.

Why should it? Kessler has shown no sign so far of moving up to LHW. There's an awful lot of unfinished business at SMW for a start.

EDIT. Hmm.. didn't know Dawson had actually turned Kessler down.

If Kessler-Larsen happens, I will go NUT'S.

Wasting talent!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol. If Palle fails to land a meaningful fight for Kessler (i.e. a yank or Froch) look for Larsen to step in. It might be unimportant to the US fans, but it'll likely fill Parken Stadium with 40,000 people and be the biggest fight ever over here.

Winky seems like he don't wanna fight anybody. Kessler too.

Yep lots of gret matchups at 168 waiting to be made and fighters who seem willing to get it on.

Really? It would be good to see some of them get signed. If Kessler fights that other Danish guy next I will be seriously pissed off.

Can you provide proof that Dawson turned it down? Because I can tell you that in next months International Boxing Digest that his management said YES they are willing to come down to fight Kessler or anyone else willing to step up.
