[Boxing] Kessler focused on Sartison!


Recommended Posts

On Saturday, former WBA and WBC super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler, will make his first ring start since his decision to loss to unbeaten legend Joe Calzaghe last November, when he fights for the vacant WBA super middleweight title against Dimitri Sartison in Copenhagen. "I am trying to climb back to the top of the mountain," Kessler said. "My whole focus right now is on Sartison....I must take care of business with Mr. Sartison and then we can look to the future. I know that Sartison is not coming here to give me any kind of easy victory." Should Kessler emerge victorious, there has been interest from both sides in a showdown with WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik. "First things first," manager Bettina Palle said. "Sartison is fighting close to home and he has upset on his mind. There are big fights out there for Mikkel, Pavlik among them, but first Mikkel knows he needs to collect another world title belt."

Unbeaten super middleweight Dimitri Sartison (22-0, 14 KOs) is set for the biggest fight of his life when he faces former unified champion world champion Mikkel Kessler on Saturday for the vacant WBA 168lb championship at the famed Brondby Hall in Copenhagen. The Spotlight Boxing fighter who has previously won in Germany, Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary, expects to do the same when fighting in Kessler's backyard. "I'm glad to box in Copenhagen," said Sartison. "I am totally psyched up. This world championship chance is what I've always worked toward. Along the way, I've had to bite down to get through some bad luck with injuries ? but now it has paid off. I've always believed in myself. With my trainer Magomed Schaburow and my team, we were just in an extremely hard training camp near Moscow. I couldn't have prepared any better and harder than I did there. I'm doing the rest of my preparation in Hamburg. I want to bring the WBA title to Germany!"

"Dimitri Sartison has more than earned this chance," added promoter Dietmar Poszwa. "I'm very happy for him, because he worked very hard for years to get this world championship fight. In this duel he's certainly an underdog, but as we all know anything is possible in boxing!"Also on the card, highly regarded middleweight Gennady Golovkin (12-0, 10 KOs), also trained by Magomed Schaburow, goes for this thirteenth consecutive pro win against Amar Amari (13-8-1, 8 KOs). Golovkin was a silver medalist in the 2004 Olympics.

Pavlik would easily beat both of them.

    • Microsoft Weekly: redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, Xbox handheld is here, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here. Fresh Windows 11 preview builds with the redesigned Start menu and Windows Vista flashbacks, the long-anticipated Xbox handheld, Patch Tuesday updates, gaming news, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. June 2025 Patch Tuesday updates are out. Windows 10 received KB5060533 with build numbers 19044.5965 and 19045.5965. Supported Windows 11 versions received KB5060842 and KB5060999 with build numbers 26100.4349, 22631.5472, and 22621.5472. Later, Microsoft released an out-of-band update to address problems with games with Easy Anti-Cheat, causing system restarts upon launch, and a couple of recovery updates. Microsoft launched Copilot Vision with Highlights for Windows. This feature enables AI to see what is happening on the screen and offer additional information, analysis, and context. Copilot Vision currently works with up to two apps, but its availability is limited to the United States (more countries are on the way, says Microsoft). Now, here is some useful stuff for Windows users: a neat third-party maintenance tool that can run various checks, troubleshooters, and repair utilities; a useful guide about personalizing OneDrive folders with a touch of color, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Dev Channel Build 26200.5641 This build introduces the recently announced Start menu redesign. It also packs Lock Screen widget improvements, Narrator enhancements, updates to the gamepad keyboard, and a lot of various fixes. Build 26200.5651 Another Dev build introduced a Settings app agent, Recall improvements, seconds for the calendar clock, context menu enhancements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26120.4250 The Beta build has the same changelog as the one from the Dev Channel. Build 26120.4441 The same build as 26200.5651 from the Dev Channel.

Build 19045.6029 This build introduces improvements to app defaults and multiple fixes for Windows 10. The redesigned Start menu is the most exciting part of the new builds, but as usual, it is rolling out gradually. You can mitigate that by force-enabling the new Start menu using the ViVeTool app as described in our guide. Interestingly, the latest builds introduced a funny bug where Windows 11 plays the Windows Vista startup sound on boot. Microsoft acknowledged the issue and said it is working on a fix in future updates. Meanwhile, if you use the latest Dev and Beta builds, you will get to enjoy 2006 nostalgia each time you turn on your PC. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week's browser updates include a fresh Dev Channel update for Microsoft Edge and secure password deployment in Edge for organizations. The latter arrived in the Stable Channel on June 13 with version 137.0.3296.83. There was also a minor update for Firefox. The latter received version 139.0.4, which addressed several issues with the browser freezing when switching apps, failing to save wallpapers with proper names, and more. In addition to the update, Mozilla announced that Deepfake Detector is shutting down. The service will go dark on June 26, 2025. Moving to Office updates, we have some changes to the new Outlook, which will block more files and allow you to perform more tasks when offline. OneDrive for Mac now supports external disks, Clipchamp lets you trim videos by cutting out parts of the transcript, and OneNote now supports Copilot Notebooks.

These portable consoles are a big deal for the world of handheld devices, as they run a special version of Windows, which was optimized for portable gaming consoles with fewer processes running in the background. As such, they offer much better battery life and performance. You can read more about how Microsoft optimized Windows 11 for handhelds in a separate article. Next, we have plenty of new games and DLCs announced at the showcase; here is a recap: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle received a new DLC called The Order of Giants.

    • Yea but you cant forget about Windows 7 featuring most of this design too... it was also there in Win7!
    • I don't blame them, just have a load of people stand in front of the cars, they will not or should not move, that will stuff them.
    • Yeah, that would work. I have no problem with the way macOS looks like now, I don't see the point of them changing the look all the time, and that is the same with windows. I realise look have to change sometimes, but macOS is fine as it is, look wise.
    • Ah Windows Vista! The best Windows version to feature best UI design and effects.
