LIVESTREAM: Pressconference Kessler vs Magee
Don´t miss today´s press conference with Mikkel Kessler and Brian Magee from Jyske Bank BOXEN – streamed live on eb.dk at noon
Mikkel Kessler is very well repared for his fight at Dec 8th in Herning against the Dane Killer Brian Magee. The title of the fight is „the hour of the revenge“, in english named as „A question of honour“. It is now Mikkel Kessler who has to show that he is the one to stop Magee. After Magee beaten Mads Larsen and Rudy Markussen with KOs it is now up to the Viking Warrior to show that it is now enough of KOs at danish boxers.
With his coach Jimmy Montoya has Mikkel made his preparation. He is in excellent shape and had no injuries. Mikkel does know not to underestimate his opponent and will only focuse on this bout before talking about further fights against Ward an Froch.
The winner at saturday will get the right from WBA to fight against Andre Ward. From Team Sauerland are they very keen on to do it in the USA, but just not in Oakland or California. As for a year and a half ago is Jimmy Montoya still convinced about Mikkel.
In an interview with Onside Mikkel clears that he is feeling very well, very self-convinced and is really hungry of this battle. Brian Magee arrived at sunday in Denmark and told that he will win over Kessler as well as he won against Larsen and Markussen. Kessler himself is not impressed from Magee´s words, but has respect of his hart shots. Mikkel will beware of the power of Magee and think that his win will be in the last half of the bout.

The boxing expert (at TV2 Fight Nights) and coach Brian Mathiasen is convinced of a victory of Mikkel Kessler. It will not be an easy fight against Brian Magee.
Brian Mathiasen is the coach of Reda Zam Zam, who is even fighting at 08.12.2012 in Herning.
Mikkel Kessler has noticed that Carl Froch has eyes of fighting Bute, Ward and Kessler in 2013.
– I am willing to meet Carl again. Let me just finish the job with Brian Magee at Dec 8th in Herning, then I am interested and willing to fight Carl again. I won the last time and I will win again. The fight against Froch I am willing to do anytime, anywhere.
Carl, enjoy your belt as long as you have it. Against me you will lose the title, said Mikkel Kessler.

Message from Sauerland Event:
Kessler to face Magee for WBA Super-Middleweight World Championship in Herning on December 8th
Team Sauerland is delighted to confirm that Mikkel Kessler (45-2, 34 KOs) will challenge Brian Magee (36-4-1, 25 KOs) for the WBA Super-Midd
Kessler only has the best memories of Herning. In September 2009, he stopped Gusmyr Perdomo to pave his way into the Super Six World Boxing Classic. In April 2010, he then defeated WBC Super-Middleweight Champion Carl Froch in what many thought was the greatest fight ever on Danish soil. “The fans raised the roof that night,” promoter Kalle Sauerland said. “History repeats itself, we expect a sell-out crowd, a fantastic fight and another world title for the Viking Warrior.”
Sauerland is sure that Kessler will take out the “Dane Killer” Magee, who has stopped Mads Larsen and Rudy Markussen. “It´s up to Mikkel to restore the Danish fighting pride,” Sauerland added. “But when he is at the top of his game, nobody can stop him. His KO over Allan Green was impressive. Magee is the next in line to taste the wrath of the Viking Warrior.”
Kessler and Magee will be fighting for the regular WBA Super-Middleweight World Championship. More details will be announced at a press conference in the near future.
Mogens Palle has the right of Brian Magees fight and he offered 1 mio USD to Mikkel Kessler for this bout. Brain Magee will get 500.000 USD. Mogens Palle has planed for this move for a long time. He was trying to get the bout Karoly Balzsay vs Brian Magee. The purse bid won Team Magee. Balzsay was the WBA Champ, but after his fight against Dimitri Sartison he complained about not getting his purse. To WBA Balzsay wrote that he had problem with his back and injured to take the bout against Brian Magee. So did Mogens Palle reach the WBA belt for Magee and was able to chose opponent. His dream was a fight with the boxer who he managed before, Mikkel Kessler. The dream came through.
Rudy Markussen tells Mikkel he is ready to make sparring with Mikkel and help him to win this fight.
Mads Larsen says he is convinced that Mikkel will win the fight against Magee. Mads even wants to box further.
Prior to Saturday´s Nordic Fight Night in Frederikshavn, Team Sauerland is delighted to confirm that Mikkel Kessler (45-2, 34 KOs) will challenge Brian Magee (36-4-1, 25 KOs) for the WBA Super-Middleweight World Championship in Denmark later this year. The date and the venue will be announced in due time. “This will be a massive event, I believe the whole country will get behind Mikkel,” promoter Kalle Sauerland said. “He can become world champion for a record fourth time and restore the Danish boxing pride by avenging the bitter KOs of Rudy Markussen and Mads Larsen. It´s taken a while but now all is signed and sealed – except for the venue and the date, which we expect to be finalised shortly. Magee will feel the wrath of the Viking Warrior! It´s a question of honour!”
Magee is convinced he will claim another prominent Danish scalp. “I am ready for the hat-trick of KO´s,” he said. “I´ve stopped Larsen, I´ve stopped Markussen and now it´s Kessler´s turn. He´s a great fighter, no doubt about that, but I have the tools to break him. He ran from a fight earlier in the year after he was ringside and witness to the destruction of Markussen but now I have him and he will go the same way. I have already commenced early training and I am working on a fight plan with my coach Bernardo Checa. Denmark has been good to me and I am happy to be going back.“
Further details about the Kessler-Magee fight will be announced after Saturday´s Nordic Fight Night in Frederikshavn. At Arena Nord, Patrick Nielsen defends his WBA Intercontinental Middleweight Title against Spaniard Jose Yebes. The card also features the “Pacquiao Mayweather of women´s boxing” – the showdown between WBA / WBC / WBO Female Welterweight Champion Cecilia Braekhus and French KO queen Anne Sophie Mathis. Ahmed Kaddour, Torben Keller, Dennis Ceylan and Erik Skoglund will also be in action. Tickets are available at arenanord.dk.
Die Verhandlungen zwischen Chris Meyer, Sauerland Events, und Pat Magee, Manager von Brian Magee, endete am Wochenende. Magee teilte mit das sie einen anderen Kampf sehr nah zum Abschluss stehen. Dann mischt sich Mogens Palle, Mikkel Kesslers ehemaliger Manager, ein und bietet 1 Mio US Dollar für den Kampf Magee vs Kessler in Dänemark im Oktober-November 2012 an.
Chris Meyer und Kalle Sauerland sind ziemlich überrascht auf Palles Angebot. Von Mikkel Kesslers Seite ist auch nicht mit Jubel zu rechnen. Mikkel wechselte von Palle nach Sauerland, da er sehr unzufrieden mit Palle war.
Meyer meint das Angebot dient hauptsächlich um mediale Aufmerksamkeit zu erreichen. Warum macht er das Angebot mit 1 Mio USD, weil es besser klingt als 800.000 Euro oder 6 Mio dänische Kronen?
Sauerland kann auch nur Mikkel in Dänemark boxen lassen wenn sie selbst Promoter sind, wegen die bindende Verträge mit Partnern in Skandinavien (Viasat). In England wäre es etwas anders Z B., aber in Dänemark lässt es sich nicht machen.
Auf jeden Fall intressant zu sehen wie es weiter geht. Gut vermarktbar wäre diesen Kampf in Dänemark immerhin. Brian Magee hat in Dänemark die beide Dänen Rudy Markussen und Mads Larsen ausgeknockt bzw. in 7. Runde mit TKO gewonnen. So eine dänische Rache von Mikkel Kessler wäre bestimmt gern gesehen.
