The 40-year-old boxer nicknamed ” The Viking Warrior is from his sport used to be quick on his feet, but whether it can be transformed into the elegant steps on the floor, doubt Mikkel Kessler even.

– For eight or nine years ago, I was in the city with the Michael Maze. The time we gave the handshake on that, if one had to be with ‘dancing with the stars’, should the other also.
