This is the first time a champion has put his title on the line, but I've got injured
Joe Calzaghe
Get your passport ready!

He [Lacy] wants it and I want it and the prospect really <br/> excites me, but I haven't even talked money yet so nothing is cut and <br/> dried.

[WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe has lashed out at the Gary Shaw, promoter of IBF champ Jeff Lacy.] I want the Lacy fight now more than ever both to prove to all my fans what they already know, that I'm the best, and to shut Shaw's mouth once and for all,.. And as for me going to America for the contest, well the agreement is that Lacy should fight me over here so we'll see if he honours that agreement or if he ducks out. I'm the man in the super-middleweight division and Lacy needs me more than I need him and I'm certainly not going jump just because he clicks his fingers. I know and he knows I will beat him badly when the fight does go ahead and after what has happened in the past five days I can't wait to prove that.

I'm devastated with the injury but I've proved my heart and skill to everyone by fighting one handed for eight rounds

I love to knock guys out, that's my game, but today I had to adjust and box with my jab. I would have knocked him out by the fifth or sixth round. But I had to jab my way to victory.
victory game today guys box love
Lots of things can also happen between now and <br/> then (November 5th), not least among them injuries. I have had problems <br/> with my hand and back on and off over the years, which is hardly surprising <br/> when you have been fighting since the age of nine like I have. My left <br/> hand swells up after almost every fight.

I've always been quite into clothes.

But I will fight Jeff Lacy, regardless of money, regardless of anything else, it's a fight I definitely want.

Alright, he's chucking his toys out the basket and Gary Shaw has a big mouth and shouts a lot

I know that if I am not at my best and I do not perform I will lose. I'm never over-confident. Over-confidence is a weakness because it stops you training as hard as you should. It has happened to fighters like Naseem Hamed and Lennox Lewis. Complacency beats fighters.
