According to the BBC, Enzo Maccarinelli has returned to former coach Enzo Calzaghe as he aims to resurrect his career by moving to the light-heavyweight division. Calzaghe, who coached son Joe to be a two-weight world champion, is back training after a year-long break. Maccarinelli, the former cruiserweight WBO world champion, hopes to fight again within the next month.
The Swansea boxer, 30, is keen to make a comeback despite suffering four defeats in his last eight bouts. Maccarinelli was highly-regarded during his successful four-defence reign of the WBO world cruiserweight crown between 2006 and 2008 when Calzaghe guided the Swansea boxer.
The man dubbed 'Big Macc' will now fight in the 175lb division where he could face friend and fellow countryman Nathan Cleverly. Maccarinelli challenged Cleverly to an all-Welsh clash after watching the 24-year-old mathematics graduate defend his WBO light-heavyweight belt for the first time against Aleksy Kuziemski in May.
"That's definitely a fight that's on the cards and what a big Welsh fight that would be - hopefully at Swansea's Liberty Stadium," said Maccarinelli after throwing down the challenge.
