Well, here is another kessler fan. He has to take the chance.
Kessler wants all four of the big belts.
And as he gets older, its now or newer.

It's a good fight, and considering Kessler is WBC's champion in Emertis facing Bute for the IBF belt in June-Sept would be ideal, if the fight happens and can be held in Europe I'd give Kessler the advantage if it happens in America/Canada I'd give the advantage to Bute; who ever wins has a good barging chip to get the Super Six winner.

Kessler-Bute is about as likely to happen next as Mayweather-Pacquiao

A small error in the article: Kessler was NOT stripped of the WBC title. He vacated.


I hope Bute fights Kessler in Denmark. I'm sick of these hometown fighters.


Trouble is, however, that Kessler today on national television said that he is not ok yet and that he is not about to resume his career unless he is 110% ready. Several nerves in both of his eyes are still damaged.
