Golovkin's promotor wants Kessler for July.
Mikkel Kessler hadn***8217;t even started his pressconference announcing his comeback in Copenhagen the other day, before an interested party had made a call.
According to danish tabloid ekstrabladet, the call to Kessler promotor Sauerland, was from Tom Loefler who promotes Kazakh sensation Gennady Golovkin. Loefler asked if Kessler was ready for a fight in Las Vegas against Golovkin in July.
The thought of Kessler fighting in July was immidiately shot down as the dane needs 4 to 6 months to get into fighting shape.
Kalle Sauerland:
***8220;To make such a big fight as a minimum, you***8217;ve got to know whether television is interested. HBO is crazy about Golovkin and Viasat would of course show such a fight to the danish audience. This would be a treat to the danish fans and to fans around the world. This is definitely something we will work on.***8221;
Ekstrabladet believes that Loefler will be asked to pay 4 million dollars for Kessler to face knock-out monster Golovkin in Las Vegas.
***8220;Of course I cannot comment on specific numbers when we are not even in a negotiating stage, but it will be expensive to lure Kessler to America. Much more expensive than having the Viking Warrior fight in Denmark***8221; Sauerland says.
At the pressconference, Mikkel Kessler told lionheart-boxing.dk that he***8217;d be happy to face Golovkin and that even at a catchweight
