My translation of the article on their online paper:

"Calzaghe ready for Kessler
Mid May a fight between Mikkel Kessler and Joe Calzaghe did not seem likely.

After a meeting between Mogens Palle and Calzaghe-promoter, Frank Warren in London it was hard to se the dream fight becoming a reality, but now BT has learned, that Calzaghe is ready for a clash in Copenhagen in the fall.

- “We have told Mogens, that we are ready to box in Denmark on whatever terms he wants. That is his original offer. Ask Mogens what he has to say to that”, Frank Warren says to BT

The before mentioned offer was of five million dollars (27,5 mill. Kr) for Calzaghe for a match in Denmark in September.

- “He has sent something, yes. But this is not to be taken lightly, so there must be some lawyers involved. A lot of different numbers and offers are floating around. It is too early to say where it all ends. I have no further comments at the moment”, Mogens Palle told BT

This means that the dream fight is alive once again

i'll believe it when the sound of the first bell rings

That'd be 2008 FOTY candidate.

yep could well be mate, still pick Joe to win, we all know if he turns it on like he did against Lacy, the fight can only possibly end one way.

Dont think any one could live with Calazaghe on a nite like that again...

This is the fight I most want to see for both guys.

The battle for the undisputed SMW championship.

I really hope this happens. Joe can't chase rainbows (Jones Jr., Hopkins et. al.)
for much longer.

Kessler isn't an another Lacy

if this story is true, my respect for Calzaghe will increase.
