Kalle Sauerland has informed TV 2 Sporten in Denmark that both date, site and opponent are confirmed for Mikkel Kessler´s comeback and it will all be announced in the coming weeks.

The 38-year old Kessler (46-3) announced his comeback on March 31 and has since been in training. It was widely expected that the former WBA and WBC super middle champ would get a wild card to enter the World Boxing Super Series Tournament but the Viking Warrior announced on June 21 that he wasn´t ready for the big boys just yet after four years out.

The fact that Kessler has said that he isn´t ready for top class opponents is of course also an indicator on the class of opponent he will face in his first fight since losing to Carl Froch in their 2013 rematch.
