By Oliver Norager: Former super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler (46-3, 35 KO’s) is possibly facing Olympian gold-medalist champion James DeGale (20-1, 14 KO’s) on April 25 at London’s 02 Arena. The fight is for the IBF world title. According to Danish paper, Ekstrabladet, Kessler has gotten a offer from DeGale’s promoter, Eddie Hearn. The Dane’s promoter, Kalle Sauerland said: “I can confirm that his promoter came with a offer, but i can’t say anything more at this point”
This is a big step up in class for the 28-year old DeGale, his best fight so far in his career was George Groves back in 2011, where he lost a majority decision at the same venue where the Kessler fight is going to take place. Lately, DeGale have improved and destoyed decent fighters like Brandon Gonzales and Marco Antonio Periban.
