Sauerland inks Kessler! | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7

Hopefully this means he starts getting involved in the 168 pictrure, but suprised none of the American promoters didnt try to get him.

Excellent news, Sauerland are making an active effort to get involved in the scene in the US & I reckon Kessler gets a big fight soon

He certainly need to get a big fight soon, the 168 division was his for the taking after Calzaghe retired. Kess has slipped back into obscurity, I'm sure it's because of Palle, but regardless it has happened.

For as much as this guy fights joe jackson could sign the guy to his new label and he'd still be better off. Outside of getting slapped around by calzaghe i don't see the big deal.

Great news

[paddy448]

finally, this makes the 168 division alot more exciting now, kesslers a good operator

[Bomp]

Hopefully the rumours about an sm tournament are true and they can now get going. Just looking forward to see him fight anyone.

[Diane]

Well this is one big hurdle that has been overcome for that SMW tournament. Hopefully everything else falls into place!

[TheMacMagician]

This is good news for him, its about damn time. I'm lookin forward to seein him back in action, although he did get schooled by Calzaghe after the halfway mark of their fight so I still don't see him being all that.

Isn't Kessler matched up with Dirrell in his first bout in the tournament? That should be interesting.

[TigerFan]

Great news!

It's a shame it took this long.

[paddy448]

i think kessler cleans up to be honest

[LEGION]

Great news!

My thoughts exactly......wonder if he'll go up against some bum 1st or wait to see about this tournament? This caps off an already deep division that he should have been checking already by now.

[armin]

People say he got schooled by cal after the halfway mark in their fight, be that as it may calzaghe was special. Kessler on form I think takes anyone in the 168 division. Not that andrade is a great fighter or anything, but he's good right there close to the top of 168 and kessler completely dominated him over 12 rounds. Hopefully he gets right in the mix...

No Froch is matched with Dirrell.
