    They can avoid him as it is today. Check the WBA rankings. They are a disgrace. A list of clubfighters.

    Kessler is the former WBC champion. That should give him a high ranking if he ditched the WBA belt.

        I feel bad for Kessler. So much potential being wasted.

        Sorry Bat... I know it must suck to be a Kessler fan right now.

          For sure. I spent a couple of weeks in Copenhagen about ten years ago. I love the place. Stayed in Hotel near the ferry port.

            Lol. At least he hasn't lost....... But it's better to watch your guy fight than not watch him at anything but celebrity weddings.

                agree with that bat - kess is without doubt the number 1 in the division and the divisional rankings should have him at least in the top 5. WTF do WBA get their rankings from do they pluck the fighters out of thin air? kess imo should just get rid of palle whatever it takes, sign for the fights he wants, just do whatever it takes, if its three fights thats a year and a half including training camps thats not too much he'll still be in his prime.

                after that sign up with someone else, someone like GBP would turn this kid into a ****in superstar, heck compared to palle calzaghe/haye promotions looks appealing.

                what happening to his career is a tragedy and boxing fans are being deprived of a genuinely great talent.

                heck by the time this gets sorted he might not even be able to make 168.

                why is he not going to be fighting? contract disputes? injury?

                kess is my current favourite fighter, he needs a belt if he is to break into the US/UK, without one he is just another euro fighter who is too high a risk and too low a reward.

                  Kessler's no advert for chasing and defending sanctioning bodies belts, amongst other things.

                  I do wonder how much of his troubles he might be able to fix if he made some strong harsh moves. **** the belt now, it's wasting too much of his time.

                    This is frustrating. I agree, he should say fuck that belt and go after Froch.

                      Well technically, Kessler IS a multi millionaire.
