Calzaghe v Lacy gets spring date

Joe Calzaghe's long-awaited super middleweight unification fight with Jeff Lacy will now go ahead in Manchester on 4 March.

Calzaghe, the WBO champion, was meant to face IBF rival Jeff Lacy on 5 November before the Welshman broke his hand while beating Evans Ashira. That led to a war of words between Calzaghe's promoter, Frank Warren, and his counterpart Gary Shaw.

But the two boxers are now finally set to meet at the MEN Arena next spring. American Lacy had demanded that any rearranged fight should take place in the United States.

I think the fans may get behind Lacy, I'm not sure.

i think it should be in australia or something. maybe even japan!

I don't care where it is as long as it is............

The Us should be fine, but it wont matter because if Lacy wins its gonna be by KO but if it goes 12 rounds Joe should win

I got $5 that Joe might hurt himself whilst training for this fight.

Manchester is is an industrial town in UK, which is the country where Joe lives and probably less than 100 miles from his hometown. The poor fella who made up this thread probably couldn't point to his own hometown on a map.

That'll be news to Tony Blair. I can tell you probably know less about boxing, but hey, lucky for for you that you don't know where you're going anyways, so it really don't matter!

For once I'm agreeing with JuyJuy - you ARE a dumbass.

You know the easiest way to defeat America? Drop a world geography map on every city in the States and ask 'em to name more than two countries.

The UK (United Kingdom) is a collective term for a group of FOUR countries (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales).

Manchester is in ENGLAND. Joe Calzaghe lives in WALES. They are DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.
