After impressively disposing of three-time world champion Markus Beyer inside three rounds, unified WBC/WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler says he's ready to face the 168lb division's other unified champion Joe Calzaghe in a superfight for the undisputed title. "I would be glad to fight Joe under the right financial conditions," said Kessler. "I would go to England or he could come to Denmark. I will beat him in either place. I had said that Floyd Mayweather is boxing's best pound for pound and that I am the second best fighter in the sport. I think I demonstrated that to some people here tonight. I will fight anyone who is out there."

"If this fight did not impress HBO, then nothing will," said Kessler's promoter Mogens Palle. "Mikkel did more than dominate. He was a wrecking ball from the opening bell. His right hand was powerful and accurate. Now we will look at all our attractive options." HBO bought the rights to televise Kessler-Beyer, but unfortunately only showed about a 30-second clip following the twelve round Calzaghe-Sakio Bika fight.

Meanwhile Calzaghe, who admittedly was not up to par in his decision win over Bika, said he's looking in another direction. "I am looking forward to coming to America to show I am the real deal. Bernard Hopkins is the man and 100% I would fight him in his own garden if that is what it took to get him into the ring with me. He can fight me next to prevent me from tying his record for consecutive victories or wait one fight to prevent me from surpassing him on the all time list."
