    From the BBC :

    BOXING: Joe Calzaghe is to give up his WBC super-middleweight title, the BBC understands. More soon.

    When the full story pops up I'll put it here.

    Assuming Clazghe have just a few more fights in the callendar then he will fight only big names, no more waste of time for the mandatories. First Jones, then probably Tarver/Dawson or winner of Pavlik-Abraham, maybe Taylor or Winky. He will not fight a life body at SMW untill someone else unify the titles.
