Mikkel Kessler announces comeback!

[smashup]

Froch looks fighting fit ready for another 80,000 seat fight.

And that's exactly what Froch v Kessler would be, actually 90,000 at Wembley.
I remember the 2nd fight i tried to get tickets but gave up after an hour and a half but read loads of stuff that the demand could have sold out the 02 Arena more than 3 times over so filling Wembley would be no problem.

I can actually see this happening infact i'm pretty sure it will as it's a level playing field and not as if either man is coming back to fight a young fresh fighter

When you think of it that way it's another 50-50 fight and would still be a tear up.

The 2nd fight was a belter.

Forget age (and they both are not exactly dinosaurs) it's a level playing field and they will both come to smash the absolute shit out of the other which is what we want

There was a time when Kessler was probably my favourite fighter . I thought he was over the top when he lost to Froch, and that disappointed me. So to see him fight 4 years later really doesn't do much for me.
I knew it wouldn't be long before Froch put his 2 pence worth in. I suppose with the silly money banded around , you can't blame them , but for fucks sake, if people want to see this, why don't we just have Masters tournaments and be done with it!
I don't like it and I don't think it's in the best interests of the fighters.

Kesslers last fight was against Froch in 2013 and he (they) were both still bang at it in the 12th round.
Neither are known for their speed or fancy footwork, they are just 2 warriors who can and will fight.
You'll thank me when this gets made and proves to be a toe to toe war

Kessler's done.

Kessler Announces Comeback/Froch Could Be tempted

Danish boxing legend Mikkel Kessler (46-3, 35 KOs) announced his plans to return to the ring at a press conference today at the Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers Hotel. The former five-time World Champion, who retired following his May 2013 rematch with Carl Froch at the O2 in London, will make a sensational comeback later this year with a date and opponent to be confirmed. ‘’I want to prove that I can become the best again. The goal is to become World Champion for the sixth time,’’ said ’The Viking Warrior’. ‘’I’ve always said that if I wake up one day and the motivation is there, I’ll take the chance, and now, the timing is right. I still have a great team around me with a chef, physical trainer, therapist and boxing coach. The desire is still there, and I’m ready to make it happen. ‘’I’m older, and so is my body, but I’ve kept in shape, and I’m still in weight. I’m 100 per cent motivated to do this. I’ve missed the training camps, and I’ve missed the focus you get from boxing - to have one goal, and to do your best to achieve it. ‘’It’s not about the money; it’s about doing what my heart tells me to do. I’ve always love big challenges, and this is a chance to really test myself. ‘’We’ve not decided on a date or an opponent yet. I’m just looking forward to fighting in front of my fans again. For me, it has always been about the fans, and I promise to do everything I can to ensure they get to see entertaining fights.’’ The 38 year-old was joined at today’s press conference by promoter Kalle Sauerland. ‘’For Mikkel it has always been about honour and not money when he steps into the ring,’’ said Sauerland. ’’He has beaten the best, and we believe he can come back to a level where he is ready to conquer the World again.’’ Froch is also reportedly considering coming out of retirement and could be tempted to face Kessler in a rubber match. Kessler and Froch have fought each other twice, winning one a piece and on hearing the news of Kessler’s return Froch said: " I’ve always said fighters should stay retired but I’ve got to be honest, this has really got me thinking! "It is one one of course and if anything is going to get me going again - it is a decider with Mikkel Kessler."

Fighters now box on well into their late 30's now and it must be to do with diets, nutrition and latest modern training/recovery methods.

He looks in reasonable nik but I see him only being a name on younger guys records from here.

I'm not a fan of old fighters going on past their sell buy date, let alone coming out of a long retirement after stopping because they've lost a step or three.

Froch-Kessler III doesn't interest me in the slightest, who cares who wins, it would simply be a case of who is the least shot. It's nothing but a battle between two fossils that already established they are equal foes in their pomp (Kessler was arguably past his best in the 1st fight let alone the 2nd).

He'll probably chase the WBA boys (Zeuge/Chudinov), as that's the alphabet mob he was most tight with and they're all with Sauerland. Groves too is with Sauerland, or he could end up getting the full SKY/Eddie treatment being a C.Smith title defense victim (should he beat Dirrel)

I suppose a fight with Arthur Abraham would be good in Germany.

Actually he has plenty of options, just best hope he's not completely and utterly gone at the game.
