Calzaghe's Hand Injury Postpones Fight With Jones Jr.

POSTED: 4:31 pm EDT July 22, 2008

(Sports Network) - Undefeated English star Joe Calzaghe reportedly injured his right hand training for his scheduled September 20 bout with Roy Jones Jr., postponing the much anticipated battle of aging legends.

The fight, to take place in Madison Square Garden, is likely to be rescheduled for November, according to British newspaper The Guardian.

Calzaghe's The Ring Magazine light-heavyweight title will be on the line when the two hook up.

The 36-year-old Calzaghe, who boasts a 45-0 professional record and has owned the WBO super middleweight title since October 1997, surrendered his WBC super middleweight belt to take the match with Jones. He still holds the WBO and WBA titles at super middleweight, but moved up to light-heavyweight in April and defeated Bernard Hopkins by split decision.

Jones, 39, has been a champion in four different weight classes and previously held the light-heavyweight title for seven different organizations.
