Kessler steps things up
Mikkel Kessler has made the decision to take his Boxing
ability to the Light Heavyweight division. The choice has been made after
pulling out of a world title shot with Robert Stieglitz , and he will now face 31-3
Allan Green. I can only feel that it has sunk in that he was never going to
able to take on the Super Middleweights elite fighters again. After losses to Johnson
and Ward and going the distance with Froch, it would seem that Kessler will now
try to work his way to a World title through the Light Heavyweight division. It
has been reported that he will be looking to take on the winner of the showdown
in April between Chad Dawson and Bernard Hopkins, he will have to fight off competition
from Welshman Nathan Cleverly as Promotor Frank Warren has already confirmed he
has made Hopkins their next target. We may even get to see the Dane take on Cleverly
which would be a good measure to see where Kessler is regarding being a
legitimate contender for a World title again.
Hatton Fires at McGuigan
After it was announced that Ricky Hattons very own Scott Quigg
would take on Rendall Munroe, a lot of people were left with a disappointed
look on their face, none more so than Barry McGuigan, who for some time now has
urged Hatton to get his fighter in the ring with Irishman Carl Frampton. Hatton
has stated that two days after the Munroe fight was announced McGuigan tore
into Hatton saying that he was running scared of his young prospect, Hatton has
confirmed that as these comments were made after the signing of Quigg, Munroe which
is the fight they wanted and that McGuian should get a grip. Either way I think
we will eventually be looking at a match up between Quigg and Frampton, but we
may have to wait as im sure that there will be a few other experienced fighters
that feel they are further up the line to face the British Champion.
