Former WBA and WBC super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler has passed all of the necessary medical tests for his comeback, according to TV 2 Sport in Denmark.

However, Kessler notes that there is no fight booked yet but says he would love to join the World Boxing Super Series tournament. However, nothing is set.

The 38-year old Viking Warrior, 46-3, last fought in 2013 when he lost a twelve round decision in a rematch to Carloh. He decided earlier this year to make a comeback.

Undefeated super middleweight prospect Stefan Haertel (13-0) takes on Gambian danger-man Patrick Mendy (17-12-2) on the undercard to the Tyron Zeuge vs Paul Smith show in Wetzlar, June 17, in a non-title ten rounder.

Haertel is now trained by Ulli Wegner and has looked good in all of his pro fights - but with only one win inside the distance it´s fair to say that punching power is missing. In the UK-based Mendy he facse a capable veteran who can give everybody a tough night.

Also on the bill is another super middleweight prospect in Denis Radovan,4-0 and trained by Juergen Braehmer, heavyweight Burak Sahin, 11-0, back after a brief layoff due to illness and 2-0 cruiser Emir Ahmatovic.

Swedish light heavyweight Erik Skoglund, 26-0, IBF # 4, WBO # 6, WBA # 11, WBC # 11 and EBU # 2, writes on his facebook page that he´s been in training camp for 21 weeks and done over 200 workouts - without a major title fight materializing.

Skoglund was lined up for a fight against WBA ruler Nathan Cleverly first on May 20 and then June 17, but no deal was done. Skoglund is promoted by Sauerland Promotion - and Nisse Sauerland states that Skoglund´s next move will be announced shortly and he adds that "it´s big".

Super featherweight Patrick Kinigamazi, 26-2 and Juan Jose Farias, 18-9-1, clash for the vacant WBFederatin title on June 9 in Thonex (Switzerland) with Tundra promoting the show. Kinigamazi have roots in Rwanda, Farias in Brazil and promoter Enrique Soria hails from Spain so it´s a very international event.
