CALZAGHE v KESSLER
LIVE ON SETANTA CLASH
boxing
BOTH fighters are world champions. Both are
unbeaten. But something has to give when the
great Joe Calzaghe squares up to Mikkel Kessler
in what is without doubt Europe’s fight of the year.
Super-middleweight king Calzaghe will put his
WBO title, a perfect 43-0 record and reputation on
the line when he faces arguably the toughest test
of his glittering career in the Millennium Stadium.
The hard-hitting Kessler already holds the WBA
and WBC belts. And with an unblemished 39-0
record (29 KOs) the 28-year-old Dane is widely
regarded to be at the top of his game.
But after a decade of dominance, the stylish
Calzaghe is determined to make a successful
21st defence of his title in this unification battle.
And victory in the early hours of Sunday would
confirm the 35-year-old Welshman’s status as the
greatest 12-stone fighter of his generation.
Calzaghe says Kessler will bring the best out of
him.
Kessler says Calzaghe is in for a big surprise.
One thing is for sure, it won’t be for the faint
hearted.
