Team Sauerland is delighted to announce that Mikkel Kessler (44-2, 33 KOs) will challenge WBO Super-Middleweight Champion Robert Stieglitz (40-2, 23 KOs) at Copenhagen´s PARKEN Stadium on April 14. Their clash was originally scheduled for November 5 but had to be postponed after the Viking Warrior picked up a hand injury. Kessler successfully underwent surgery and is now ready to take the title away from Stieglitz. “I am glad we have the new date confirmed,” the three-time world champion said. “The recovery is going very well. I have kept in shape. Once the injury has healed properly, I will return to full boxing training. I have promised my Viking fans to make up for the postponement in style and I will put on a great show at PARKEN on April 14.”

Added promoter Kalle Sauerland: “We are pleased to confirm the new date. 2012 will be a big year for the Viking Warrior as he seeks global domination for his beloved Denmark.”
