Mikkel Kessler and Danilo Haussler have voiced their confidence ahead of Saturday´s WBA super-middleweight title fight in Oldenburg, Germany. After both fighters underwent a brief public practice session today, they answered questions from the media in great detail. "I never underestimate my opponents," the Danish champion said. "Danilo Haussler is physically very strong but I have advantages when it comes down to reach and footwork. I have trained very hard in Monaco and Denmark. I feel in great shape." The Viking Warrior (40-1, 30 KOs) has firmly set his sights on his 41st victory. "I am prepared for the possibility of going 12 rounds," he stated. "But I have no doubts that I will leave the ring victorious!"

His opponent, however, is envisioning a different outcome. "I have been working many, many years to get the chance to fight for the world title," Haussler (29-3, 7 KOs) said. "I will make the most of it and want to win. Kessler might be taller than I am, but I have a huge heart and will show my tremendous fighting spirit."

Also in action will be European cruiserweight champion Marco "Captain" Huck (22-1, 17 KOs), who defends his title against Italy´s Fabio Tuiach (22-1, 14 KOs), as well as the First Lady Cecilia Braekhus (9-0, 2 KOs), who comes face to face with Borislava Goranova from Bulgaria.
