Looking forward to the comeback
Patrick Nielsen took earlier in the year, a digression in his career, when he attempted MMA and fought against Mark O. Madsen. The fight was not according to plan for Patrick Nielsen, and therefore he is delighted to be back in the boxing ring, where he feels he belongs.
I’ve been looking forward to getting back to boxing. I took a digression and tried something new, but the boxing sits in the backbone, and I miss too much I’ll try again.
– It has been a long pause with the promoter and manager changes, so now I am actually just to get up in the ring on Saturday (red. in the morning.).
“I am not reality”
When you also to become a world champion?
– As I said, I look only forward to the next battle, but if I win this here fight and win the next turn, so you can see the prospects of reaching my goal in a recognized alliance as being really high.
Regard you yourself as the best boxer?
– I don’t know if I consider myself as the best boxer, but I have been in this game for a long time, and I think I have proven my worth.
Are you more reality star than a boxer?
– I do not think that I have been a the potential. I have been an entertainer that has made my part of the process in order to keep the Danish boxing in live and make sure that there has been something of an audience, so I think since I’ve taken my stint of reality.
do you Dance better than Mikkel Kessler, as he is in Dancing With the stars?
– The allowed time to show, for he is still with. He may just not be more than number three, so I am satisfied.
Have you made an internal bet with Kessler about who performs best on the dance floor?
– No, we have not, but we have laughed a little of it, and he was actually a little shocked how hard it is when you get into it, which I had also tried to explain to him before.
Show more Close
He feels more than ready physically to fight against the Arm Ypremyan, which according to him, must be regarded as a bit of a skæbnekamp.
– the Shape is really good. I have been in sharp training and actually feel for once. that it entire play: I feel just like that I have become more adult over time, so right now it goes really well.

Cooperation with Mikkel Kessler
Patrick Nielsen changed in June promoter and formed a partnership with Q, Pro Boxing and Thomas Møllenberg and Svend Rasmussen. This has also meant that the 28-year-old boxer in the future comes to boxes several matches in denmark. In addition, he has also scored and Mikkel Kessler as a kind of mentor, since Kessler is associated with the Q Pro Boxing as a supervisor.
– Me, and Kessler is having the same promotion now, and it plays just. All are really happy for the solution which has been made, and it works really well. I save a lot with Kessler and his team, and of course I get the good tips on the road, and it is mega cool to get tips and tricks of the best Danish boxer who has been, I think.
– I wanted to try something new, and now think I really just, I’ll try to get back to Denmark and boxes again. Now I have bokset the last four matches abroad, and it is still four fights in almost three years, so it’s been a while since I have bokset at home.

Can still become a world champion
Although Patrick Nielsen threatens a retirement, if it should be to a defeat against the Arm Ypremyan, think he still on that one day he can become a world champion in a major federation in the field of boxing.
– I boxer the still, because I have not yet reached my goal, and that is to become a world champion in one of the recognized confederation.
So you think, therefore, that you can become a world champion?
– of Course I believe in it. I ought to peake now, and I also feel that I have reached the age where I have cleaned my horn, and now I have a son who like to understand things, so it just means that you like have to show him that if you believe in it, then you can also.
