Is this official? I literally just made a thread saying they should do this. No point in replacing Kessler now, it's too late.

Man the live stream was breaking up for me but thats what I think Sauerland said

This is actually good news.

A much needed "push" to this slow-moving tournament.

2 interesting semi-final matchups.

Allan Green blew his 1 chance.

Good news.

Kessler vs Green was pointless anyways, Kessler will be back and can face the winner or Bute.

Ward has the WBA title. Kessler won the WBC title from Froch, but since he can't defend it it will be vacant.

No, Ward has the WBA belt. Kessler has the WBC belt which will now be vacant

I am sure kessler has got a gurantee to fight the winner or it would be mad for him to drop out
