Belfast's Brian Magee will face former three-time world super-middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler in Herning, Denmark on December 8.

Promoter Sauerland Event has confirmed that the pair, who meet for the WBA title, will square off at the Jyske Bank Boxen, a 15-000 capacity venue which has been open for the past two years.

Kessler defeated Britain's Carl Froch in Herning in April 2010.

"I look forward to fighting in Herning again," Kessler said.

"The atmosphere was fantastic last time when I fought Carl Froch. The fans made the difference that night. Their support really lifted me to one of my greatest victories. With their help, I will become world champion again on Dec. 8."
