Calzaghe relinquishes world title This content is protected Calzaghe's last hurrah against Jones is likely to be in Las Vegas Joe Calzaghe has vacated his WBC super-middleweight title to free him up for a potential fight with Roy Jones Jr at light-heavyweight later in the year. He has given up the title rather than take the mandatory defence against fellow British fighter Carl Froch. Calzaghe still holds his WBA and WBO belts. Froch will face Jermain Taylor for the title later this year. Veteran American legend Jones claims he and Welsh two-weight world champion Calzaghe will clash on 20 September. Calzaghe is unbeaten in 45 contests and a fight with Jones, possibly in Las Vegas, would be the Welshman's career swansong. This content is protected The Newbridge-based Calzaghe is currently big box office in the United States following his points win - and debut at light-heavyweight - over Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas in April. At the end of June, Calzaghe split with long-term promoter Frank Warren saying he would now manage himself. Announcing the split with Warren in his newspaper column, Calzaghe said: "My intention is to fight Roy Jones Jr, a four-weight world champion fighter. "That would be a special event for me against a legend of the sport."
No it wasn't confirmed to the public until now. If this September date is going to come off for the Jones fight I'd expect an official announcement very soon.
