While boxing’s current longest-reigning champion Joe Calzaghe was honored today - marking 10 years of superstardom and 20 consecutive successful title defenses, his opponent Mikkel Kessler tried to rain on Joe’s parade and issued a few choice word to The Sun’s Gavin Glicksman.

"Joe is a great champion, but I’m going to beat him," said Kessler.

"I’m going to be 200 per cent better than my last fight and he’s going to get a big surprise. I’ve seen some of his fights and he’s never fought a guy like me before, that’s why he’s going to be in trouble. I hit straight. I hit hard. I hit directly. I’m going to show everyone I’m a bigger champion than he is."

"I know Hans Christian Andersen is from Denmark, but If Kessler wants to believe in fairy tales, I suggest he read ’The Emperor’s New Clothes’ before he starts believing the tales his camp is telling him," responded Calzaghe.

"Kessler is going to get exposed on November 3. I just hope I don’t get a hernia carrying all those belts out of the ring!"

The Sun has probably not talked to any of them.:roll:

Kessler actually talked very respectful about Calzaghes title reign on team palles site and said that he couldn't imagine to do what Calzaghe had done regarding longevity.;) If you actually believe anything the Sun writes, then nobody can help you I'm afraid.:lol:

Hernia is what happens to the guys who have to scrape Calzaghe of the canvas and carry him out!
