"I'm more English than Calzaghe"

Last week, Frank Warren, promoter of WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, said Calzaghe would be willing to travel to face WBC/WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler in his native Denmark. Kessler has responded in an ITV Boxing interview saying he's willing to travel to England to fight Joe. "I haven't got any problem whatsoever with fighting Calzaghe anywhere in the world," stated Kessler. "Besides I'm more English than him," alluding to the fact that Calzaghe's father was born in Italy and his mother is from Wales. "My mother is from Salisbury," continued Kessler. "That must give me some fans, at least in England!"

Priceless.

This is the ultimate call out & honestly...I say that Kess get's mega props for stepping up to plate.

Joe will have no other choice but to answer the call...& on that note...Wacko say's...may the best man win.

I love Calzaghe...but I really REALLY like Kessler. He's grown to be one of my favorites, just as Joe is in my top 5 favorites of all time...I might have to bump somebody from the top spot...unless ofcourse Oscar retires & makes it easier on me.
