WBA super middleweight champ Mikkel Kessler and Team Palle are now in an open conflict and it might end up in Danish court. According to a press release from Team Palle´s lawyers, A 4, the reason for the dispute are the options for International Entertainment - the company under which Mogens Palle operates - have on Kessler´s next three fights. Kessler´s lawyers have written Team Palle that as of February of 2009 there was only one option left and that should be used in a fight against WBA mandatory challenger Gusmyl Perdomo. It´s been previously assumed that the options don´t include mandatory defences. International Entertainment writes that with this in mind is no point trying to make fights or shows with Kessler and will take the case to the court.

Looks like a replay of the Larsen situation and unfortunately, this could spell the end of Mikkel's career at the very highest level
