Calzaghe bout rescheduled

Joe Calzaghe's postponed showdown with Roy Jones Jr has been rescheduled for November 8 and will take place at New York's prestigious Madison Square Garden.

A wrist injury suffered by Calzaghe last month forced the original September 20 date to be put back.

The fight, which was originally billed as 36-year-old Calzaghe's 'farewell' bout, will be shown on American pay-TV network HBO and on Setanta in the UK.

Calzaghe said: "I can't wait to get back to America and triumph over another boxing legend."

Calzaghe and four-weight world champion Jones will share promotional duties for the fight after the Welshman's acrimonious recent split with Frank Warren's Sports Network.

While Calzaghe had insisted the Jones fight would be his last, a meeting with undisputed middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik remains a possibility, with the American moving up to face veteran Bernard Hopkins - who lost to Calzaghe in April - at light-heavyweight in October.
