Super middleweight sensation Mikkel Kessler was recently in Montreal attending the Lucian Bute-Brian Magee fight. This former two time WBC and two time WBA champion was in great shape and thoroughly enjoying himself. As boxing fans know, Kessler was very busy in Montreal, meeting with Interbox president Jean Bedard and acting as a commentator for Showtime for the Bute-Magee bout. Luckily, the Boxing Examiner was able to catch up with the busy “Viking Warrior” and ask him a few questions.
