Unbeaten WBO 168 pound champion Joe Calzaghe (43-0) looks set for a unification match with Danish WBC/WBA champion Mikkel Kessler (39-0) in the UK on November 3rd. The venue is pencilled to be the Millenium Stadium subject to final negotiations. The fight is one of the most eagerly awaited in the super middleweight division between two outstanding and unbeaten fighters with over 82 wins and no losses between them. In his last defense the unbeaten Calzaghe drew over 35,000 fans to see his third round stoppage of Peter Manfredo Jr and a bigger crowd is anticipated for this unification bout. Sports Network promoter Frank Warren confirmed the details in his column in the UK tabloid The Sun on Saturday. He stated, "With Kessler bringing his WBA and WBC titles to the party, I expect at least 60,000 to be in attendance. As a result, both fighters will be getting career-high purses."
