Danish boxer Mikkel Kessler feels confident
Danish boxer Mikkel Kessler, 28, is feeling confident that his younger age will give him an advantage over 35-year-old Welshman Joe Calzaghe at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
Mikkel Kessler is reported to have explained: "He's always been in great physical shape and is by no means an old man, but he's 35 and that could be a weakness."
Mikkel Kessler also said: "I've seen other problems I won't name. Calzaghe's a great fighter but I'm more focused and youthful, he may tire."
And Mikkel Kessler denied he had injured his hand claiming that training and sparring had been going really well: "It's been a four-month camp and everything has gone so well, I don't know where any talk of injury has come from."
Mikkel Kessler has an impressive 39-0 (29 KOs) record against unbeaten Joe Calzaghe's record of 43-0 (32 KOs).
And Joe Calzaghe has defended his belt successfully for 10 years, making him the longest-reigning current champion in boxing history.
