\"\"<\/a>Team Sauerland regrets to announce that Mikkel Kessler (44-2, 33 KOs)has sustained a hand injury in practice, forcing him to postpone his
\nhotly-anticipated November 5 clash with WBO Super-Middleweight Champion Robert Stieglitz (40-2, 23 KOs) to early 2012. The venue will remain
\nCopenhagen\u00b4s PARKEN Stadium, and all tickets purchased will remain valid. The new date for the show, which will be co-promoted by Team
\nSauerland and SES boxing, will be confirmed as soon as possible. \u201cThis is a major disappointment for me,\u201d Kessler said. \u201cWe\u00b4ve had a great
\npreparation and I was in fantastic shape when I injured my right hand during a routine training session. The doctors advised me that it needs
\na rest and I can\u00b4t fight on November 5. I am very sorry to keep my fans waiting. The good news is that the injury should heal quickly after a
\nlittle break. I will rest my hand and then get back to training to be fit for Stieglitz early next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just like the Viking Warrior, promoter Kalle Sauerland was gutted. \u201cIt\u00b4s a shame that this big clash of champions has to be postponed,\u201d he
\nstated. \u201cI know how hard Mikkel has worked and how disappointed he is to postpone the original fight date, but we have been through this before.
\nWe will now speak to our broadcasting partners \u2013 TV2 in Denmark, ARD in Germany and SHOWTIME in the US \u2013 to find a new date in early 2012 as
\nsoon as possible. We will then kick off the new year with a massive show at PARKEN, with two of the world\u00b4s best super-middleweights battling it
\nout.\u201d<\/p>\n

As soon as the new date for the show at PARKEN has been confirmed, Team Sauerland will make an announcement. All tickets purchased will remain
\nvalid. Fans unable to attend the fight on the new date can refund their tickets through billetlugen.dk’s call center (+45 70 263 267) until
\nthree weeks after the announcement of the new date.<\/p>\n
