CALZAGHE ACCEPTS KESSLER OFFER

Promoter Frank Warren says Joe Calzaghe will go to Denmark and fight Mikkel Kessler.

Earlier this week, Warren agreed to an offer made by Kessler's promoter, Mogens Palle, but has so far heard nothing back from the Dane.

"It's not a done deal until it's signed but we've accepted," Warren told BBC Five Live. "It's now up to Palle to send a contract."

Long term WBO super-middleweight king Calzaghe has been linked to a fight with his WBC/WBA counterpart following victory over Peter Manfredo Jr in April.

Both fighters - neither of whom have tasted defeat before - were keen to secure home advantage, but Calzaghe is so confident of victory, he is prepared to sacrifice a partisan crowd.

"Joe doesn't mind fighting in Denmark," said Warren. "He feels he will beat Kessler anywhere and I believe that's the case as well.

"It's a great fight. It's the two best super middleweights in the world. It's probably one of the most competitive fights at the moment in boxing.

"I just hope that Palle backs up his offer. We sent him an e-mail on Tuesday along with a fax confirming what the terms were and we've not heard from him since.

"I'm hoping it's not all nonsense. He's been talking a lot about fighting Joe with Kessler and we've called his bluff. I don't believe he ever thought that Joe would go to Denmark."

Really hope that Team Kessler don't let us down here.
Brilliant fight for sure and i see Joe (with 3 plus months to get in shape) boxing Kesslers head off over a long fight.
Will probably go the distance but has Kessler ever really been tested
I can see Joe winning by late TKO or by a massive points margin.
Oh and well done Warren for calling their bluff (very clever move indeed)

You know that feeling you get when you suddenly realise your headache has gone?

Thats how i feel

Smash, nice one

Warren has called team Kessler's bluff,have they got the balls to take the fight i hope so.
