"Calzaghe suffers big-fight blow
Welshman Joe Calzaghe's preparations for his Las Vegas super-fight with Bernard Hopkins have been dealt a blow.
His sparring partner Bradley Pryce is struggling to get an American Visa due to a record of drink-related incidents.
Pryce, who will fight Norberto Bravo on the 19 April show, is awaiting results of a blood test before the American authorities make their final decision."

I don't know whether to laugh or cringe at this I really don't. I'm a big fan of Newbridge boxing, a self trained Enzo producing quality champions out of an unlikely gym is impressive. But this just looks amatuerish. Professionals think through simple stuff such as visa's, and whilst it's harsh, they should have prepared and been better timed. Certainly not a help to Joe Calzaghe you wouldn't have thought, but let's see.
