Ticket Sales For Calzaghe vs. Kessler Continues To Rise, Shatters European Record

By Boxing Press October 26th, 2007 All Press Releases

WBC/WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler may think he's the new sheriff in town, but WBO/The Ring magazine super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe is ready to lay down the law in arguably the biggest world title unification showdown of non-heavyweight champions since the Sugar Ray Leonard-Tommy Hearns welterweight rumble of 1981.

Calzaghe (43-0, 32 KOs), from Newbridge, Wales, and Kessler (39-0, 29 KOs), from Copenhagen, Denmark, collide next Saturday, November 3. Promoted by Frank Warren in association with International Entertainment, the Calzaghe-Kessler world super middleweight championship will be broadcast live to the U.S. from Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on HBO World Championship Boxing at a special time: 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT.

Over 40,000 tickets have already been sold, shattering the European indoor record for a boxing event, which was set at Calzaghe's last title defense, a third-round TKO victory over Peter Manfredo, Jr., on April 7. Over 35,000 tickets were sold for that fight.

Having held the WBO title since October 11, 1997, Calzaghe will be looking to successfully defend his title for a division-record 21st consecutive time -- tops among active world champions -- which would tie him with super middleweight champion Sven Ottke at fourth place on boxing's all-time list behind heavyweight champion Joe Louis (25), light heavyweight champion Dariusz Michalczewski (23) and strawweight champion Ricardo López (23)
