So it says on Maxboxing by the way.

However promoter Bettina Palle said today that nothing is signed yet, although she confirmed the fight is close to being a reality. My guess is it will be finalised in the next few days (i.e. after the Palle-card tonight has taken place).
Well then Dan mis-reported the date in his chat, because in his live chat today he said May 10th, and that's were I got the info from. So I'll blame it on Dan.
Well, thanks for the info btw!

I haven't been able to post in this thread before today, but the Palle-camp said to Danish medias a few days ago (before this thread) that they were negotiating. At that time it was being said that HBO (and yes, it said HBO) wanted the fight for May 10, but Palle/Kessler preferred June. I guess May 24th is a compromise But again, nothing seem to be signed.

Also, in the article from tuesday evening with Palle confirming the negotiations, it was being said that Kessler is an attractive opponent, and that he had also just received an offer to fight in England. That sentence left me wondering, but after Inkin later pulled out, I guess it made a lot more sense.
