As many already know from the news breaker posted on MaxBoxing/BoxingScene.com, Calzaghe suffering a right hand injury that has forced the postponement of his September 20 bout with Roy Jones Jr. The fight was scheduled to take place at New York's Madison Square Garden.
The immediate word has the fight being rescheduled to November, but many in the industry feel the only way a November date will work is if the fight is heading out to the UK.
On November 22, Ricky Hatton will challenge IBF junior welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi in Las Vegas. Due to the heavy traveling costs involved for UK fight fans, it's doubtful that many of them will travel to America twice in the same month. A good percentage will only travel to one fight or the other, especially with the holidays being just around the corner.
The postponement leaves the promoters, who are Jones and Calzaghe, with a serious issue to consider with the final date and venue selection.
