Calzaghe-Kessler is on!
Unbeaten champions collide Nov. 3 in Wales
By Karl Freitag
It's set. The super middleweight clash everyone has been waiting for is on November 3. WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe (43-0, 32 KOs) will face Mikkel Kessler (39-0, 29 KOs) at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The bout will be televised in the UK on the Setanta Sports Network. "At the moment we're talking with American broadcasters, but the main thing was to make the fight," promoter Frank Warren told Fightnews.com. "We don't don't get TV companies to get behind fights before they're made like happens in the States, except in this instance we did need the Bristish input and that's where Setanta has come in. What happens with the American broadcast will be sorted out next week."

Warren added that outside of the heavyweight fights he's been involved with, "this will the most expensive that I've ever put on...the most expensive purses. You know the type of money the guys were asking for. That's what we've had to deal with."
