According to former super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler (43-2, 32KOs), his return is officially scheduled for June 4 in Copenhagen. The opponent will be Mehdi Bouadla (22-3, 10KOs) of France. Kessler has not fought since last April's decision win over Carl Froch in the Super Six Boxing Classic. The Danish star withdrew from the ongoing tournament with an eye injury. He believes the injury initially occured during his technical decision loss to Andre Ward on November 22, 2009. There has been some discussion about a possible fight with undefeated IBF champion Lucian Bute in the fall.
