Who has said otherwise? Claiming that Herning is Kessler's hometown is ill researched. London and Nottingham are closer than Copenhagen and Herning. Simple.

what they mean is, Herning is as good as a hometown court for Kessler, no less partisan than Copenhagen. let's not over-analyse here.

but Kessler diehards are a very desperate breed nowadays. one should expect them to cling to whatever they can.

Kalle Sauerland tells danish TV2, that the deadline is at 22.00 CET.

"I'm still optimistic. There's no real problems. I'd rather call them obstacles. There's a lot of things that has to fall into place including television broadcasters and so on. Then there's the financial aspect, but I'm sure we can work that out."

Hearn tweeted:

@EddieHearn: "@SauerlandBros: See this turning into an all-nighter @EddieHearn #frochkessler2 #letsmakeithappen" camping out in office till its done

Yeah. With all the work invested in this and so close to the finishingline, it will be bad work on the promotors behalf should it fall through.

Ahhhh missed that part lol...

What was it like for the Danish fans getting to Cardiff for Calzaghe?

Had a big group of you guys there

What the hell is taking so long. They've been in negotiations for months now.

I'll be the pessimist. If it weren't for Adonis Stevenson and the IBF, I reckon this would have been sealed ages ago.
