According to an exclusive interview and report out by Michael Pearlman published by the South Wales Argus, Television giant HBO is giving full backing for a farewell fight for Joe Calzaghe at the Millennium Stadium (UK).
HBO's Senior Vice President Kerry Davis tells the South Wales Argus that a Calzaghe finale with either Chad Dawson or Bernard Hopkins on British soil, would get full backing from HBO.
In regards to backing Calzaghe's fight at Millennium Stadium, Davis tells the Argus: “I think absolutely we would be at the Millennium Stadium if Joe decided to fight again.” Davis went on to add that the ball is in Calzaghe's court, stating: “However, it’s all down to Joe. If he wants to go back to Wales for another fight, we will go with big smiles and open arms.”
Although HBO is ready and willing to back Calzaghe in a finale, there is no word yet or indication to whether or not Calzaghe will continue with boxing or hang up the gloves and retire.
