Joe Calzaghe Return to Boxing
The Pride of Wales Joe Calzaghe is considering a comeback to the sport of boxing two years after retiring from the ring as with his 46-fight unbeaten record intact.
Golden Boy’s Richard Schaefer said Joe Calzaghe has made enquires considering a comeback fight against Bernard Hopkins later in the year. The two last met on April 2008 in Calzaghes penultimate fight, the Welsh champion survived a first round knockdown to win the bout via a close split decision.
Bernard Hopkins is renowned for not letting a defeat rest, none more evident than his last performance against Roy Jones Jr in a bout that was a rematch 17-years-later. Before the bout, Hopkins had defeated Antonio Tarver who had beaten Jones. And after failing to avenge a loss to Jermain Taylor he did the next best thing by defeating Kelly Pavlik who had two wins over the aforementioned.
Calzaghe has not been without controversy in his retirement; only months ago a national newspaper released a video with the former champion appearing to have admitted using *******. Calzaghe admitted he had taken the drug but recreationally; and stated there was no addiction.
Since his retirement, the super-middleweight division has exploded into action. The ShowTime super six tournament has been a great success and is sure to spawn a new super star. Calzaghes old adversary Carl Froch is currently participating in the tournament, with the latest news I’m sure Froch will start beating the drums once again. Out with the tournament there is the Romanian based Canadian Lucian Bute, whom most regard as the number one fighter in the division.
Other options include “The Contender” participant Jesse Brinkley, Calzaghe already fought a participant from the series in Peter Manfredo. Due to the popularity of the series in Brittan, the bout was staged at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales., and was a huge success.
Before his retirement his last two fights where out-with the super-middleweight division, this was more a result of going up in weight for more lucrative fights; than any making weight issues. Calzaghe is a daily figure in his father Enzo Calzaghe’s Gym in the valleys of Wales, and has remained in tremendous shape since his retirement.
AT this early stage, it’s not clear if the pride of Wales wants to return on a one fight basis. If he were to hang around he would find himself in a plentifully division full of rich pickings.
