AP -- After months of speculation as to when and against whom, British boxing phenomenon Joe Calzaghe would make his debut in the United States, the answer became official today. Super Middleweight Champion Joe Calzaghe will appear on the Februay 23rd episode of American Gladiators against TV repair man Conway Stapleton of Brooklyn, NY. The forty-one year old Stapleton was a varsity wrestling star in high school. The event, which is something of a surprise to most Boxing insiders, has been made in large part to Calzaghe's success against American reality TV stars. Calzaghes promoter, Frank Warren, explained, "We have seen the level of interest here in pitting a World Champion against castoffs of reality TV shows. The fans here just love watching him fight, the level of competetion is not important. That is why, this matchup makes too much sense not to happen." Enzo Calzaghe, the Champion's father and trainer contiuned, "I know a victory in this contest will put to rest the whispers that Joe has been protected." It is unclear whether or not a Calzaghe victory in this matchup would mean a return to the States for the Tournament of Champions episode scheduled for May 8th.

You have to admire the lengths this guy goes to.lol.Comment
