Joe Calzaghe has agreed to fight fellow super middleweight Mikkel Kessler in Denmark in September, his manager Frank Warren has told BBC Radio Five Live.
"Mogens Palle (Kessler's promoter) made an offer for Joe to fight Kessler in Denmark in September. We've accepted and are awaiting a contract," he said.

That is such good news you had to tell us twice!

Fookin come on! Now Calzaghe has a great chance to cement his legacy! If he picks his remaining 3 opponents carefully and puts his money where his mouth is...he's got a great chance of HOF!

Kessler - Taylor - Chad Dawson.

1) Prove he is the best supermiddle in the world
2) Beat the best middle in the world
3) Beat IMO the best light heavy in the world and in the process become a 2 weight world champ.

No one can question him then!

I don't think Dawson will be fully established enough to draw the money and fame Calzaghe wants. While he is over 40, beating B-Hop...or Winky, would cement the legacy more because they are big names of Calzaghe's era.

If he beats Kessler, I hope he gets Taylor because he wants it so badly.

He ain't going to beat Kessler and anyway i still don't believe it yet

If Dawson beat Ruiz then he takes his record to 24-0 having beaten Adamek and IMO establishes himself as the best lightheavy at the moment! By beating Dawson he is beating a future star who people will remember as a possible opponent for Calzaghe when he is around.

In a perfect world I would like to see him fight the winner of Winky - BHop as well. That fight along with Kessler, Taylor and Dawson (who would have established himself by then) would be an awesome end to Calzaghe's career and means he would be a definate HOF!

I am so excited I just ran into a door while trying to get my mobile phone to call my mates!!!

I knew it would have to be Kessler of Taylor, and if Palle doesn't find a way of squirming off this hook he's found himself on, then we got us a fight, and I got me one mental weekend of partying in Copenhagen in September.

This is also on Frank's website, so it isn't just another rumour or a smokescreen. I have faith in our boy Calzaghe to bring home some fine danish bacon that night, but at least it'll stop the accusations of who's ducking who. But I guess that'll be Taylor spouting that trash now.

Just because Warren is saying it on his site and giving radio interviews does'nt mean he is'nt lieing

Yea but he beat Lacy who was "a future star"...and now people just say Lacy was overrated. They would say the same about Dawson.

Ill believe it when I see it but I really hope this comes together, forget about Taylor though this and then maybe Carl Froch are the only fights worth making.

There must be something really horrible in your past that has turned you against Calzaghe...even when they say they accept Palle's offer you're hitting out at them.
I've got a £5 each-way bet on you either being the illegitimate son of Frank Warren or Joe Calzaghe.

True...people are fickle!!! But the point here is that Calzaghe has dominated a division for over a decade! If he beats Kessler no one can dispute that. The point of beating Dawson is he then beats the best in the Lightheavy division IMO and therefore becomes a 2 weight champion. By the time Calzaghe has fought Kessler, Taylor and the winner of Winky-BHop - Dawson will have established himself if he continues as he is!

Two weight world champion. Wouldn't look bad on the record!

He won't beat Kessler

Well judging by current talk, maybe Dawson will have beaten Tarver by then, he was the division's previous ruler and someone Joe had previously wanted. So, should Dawson win that, then anyone who called Dawson overrated if Joe beat him would be taking out of their arse.
