Mick Hennessy, promoter of WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch, wants to bring his fighter's next clash, with WBA champion Mikkel Kessler, to a venue in Britain. Froch won a close split decision over Andre Dirrell last Saturday in Nottingham. Kessler faces Andre Ward on November 21 in the challenger's backyard of Oakland. Kessler's bout with Froch is more than likely heading to Denmark, where Kessler is a mega-star. [details]

They won't get it. They had a hard time getting a TV deal, and now they think they can fill a 30,000 seat stadium? Granted a unification fight (assuming Kessler wins), would spark more interest but I don't see it.
Kessler is a superstar in Denmark and has already fought at Parken twice.

Many British posters say that only Khan and Hatton are well known English fighters and that no one outside the boxing community knows Froch. So going by that, I don't see it.

Although Froch is becoming a more known name in the UK among boxing casuals, since Hatton and Calzaghe have vacated the scene, i still think the fight should be held in Denmark.
Yes it may fill 30,000 seats in the UK, but Kessler can put that many asses in seats fighting meaningless mandatories, so fighting another Champ, in a Euro showdown that is promoted right, i'm sure this could fill 50,000+ in Denmark, with Froch taking 10,000+.
Wherever the fight is held, Kessler is winning the fight anyways.

They'd sell twice as many tickets in Denmark.
