UHELDIGT: Flåt-bid tvinger Kessler til at udskyde boksecomeback - TV3 16-10-2017
Mikkel Kessler har fået en borrelia-infektion og må udskyde sit comeback til bokseringen.
Den tidligere boksestjerne Mikkel Kessler er tvunget til at udskyde sit comeback til 2018.
38-årige Kessler annoncerede i foråret sine intentioner om at vende tilbage til bokseringen efter fire års pause.
Planen var at gøre comeback i november, men en borrelia-infektion efter et bid fra en skovflåt har udsat hans tilbagevenden.
-Jeg begyndte at føle mig syg for omkring fire uger siden. Jeg var træt, mine muskler var ømme, og jeg kunne ikke træne, siger Mikkel Kessler i en pressemeddelelse.
-På det tidspunkt havde jeg ingen idé om, hvad der var årsagen.
-Jeg fik taget blodprøver, som ikke viste noget, og det var ikke før, at jeg fik foretaget en lumbalpunktur, at lægerne kunne identificere problemet, forklarer han.
Mikkel Kessler har ikke selv registreret, at han er blevet bidt af en skovflåt.
-Jeg er bare taknemmelig for, at infektionen blev fanget tidligt, og forhåbentlig kommer der ikke nogen langvarige effekter.
-Selvfølgelig er jeg skuffet over at skulle udskyde mit comeback. Jeg håber at være klar til at vende tilbage til ringen tidligt næste år, siger han.
Kessler var senest i ringen 25. maj 2013, hvor han tabte til briten Carl Froch i et opgør i O2 Arena i London. https://www.tv3sport.dk/sport/kampsport/nyheder/medie-kessler-tvunget-til-at-udskyde-boksecomeback

Mikkel Kessler's comeback on hold due to tick bite.
Mikkel Kessler, the 38-year-old former world super-middleweight titleholder, has delayed his comeback due to a tick bite.
The Danish boxer has been struck down by Lyme disease -- a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks -- and has been forced to pull out of a planned ring return at the at the Messecenter in Herning, Denmark, on Nov. 11.
Four-time world champion Kessler, who has not fought since losing a rematch with England's Carl Froch in a world title unification fight in May 2013, now hopes to fight again in March. http://en.espn.co.uk/boxing/sport/story/209003.html
Kessler fell ill in training camp and hospital tests revealed he has Lyme Borreliosis.
After being released from hospital, Kessler is now on antibiotics and is yet to resume training.
"I started to feel ill around 4 weeks ago," said Kessler. "I was tired, my muscles were aching and I was unable to train. At that point, I still had no idea what was causing it. I had blood tests, which showed nothing, and it wasn't until I had a spinal fluid test that the doctors were able to identify the problem.
"I'm not sure exactly when or where I was bitten by the tick, but I'm just thankful the bacteria was caught early and hopefully there will be no long lasting effects.
"Obviously, I'm disappointed to have to delay my comeback. I want to thank my fans for their support and patience. I hope to be ready to return to the ring early next year."
Kessler beat Froch in 2010 after defeats to American Andre Ward and Wales' Joe Calzaghe.
"I've had fighters suffering from many different injuries and illnesses in the past but this is a first for me," said Kessler's long-term promoter Kalle Sauerland.
