His split-decision victory over Bernard Hopkins here has opened up a potential goldmine for the Welshman but he has vowed not to be swayed from quitting after one more contest.

He said: "I can feel it now; I'm 36, boxing's my job but I've got other things in my life. I don't want to push it too far. I don't want to get too greedy. One more fight - and that's it, I'm done.

"I'd like to think I've got the intelligence to retire at the right time."

The most likely option is a £20million November date with Roy Jones Jnr at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium - and Calzaghe today told Standard Sport he believed that he could send the 39-year-old American legend into retirement.

He added: "Only a couple of fights out there really appeal to me - one is Jones and the other Kelly Pavlik (America's WBC & WBO middleweight champion) and they'd have to be superfights.

"Roy Jones is definitely a possibility and 70,000 in the Millennium would be amazing.

"I've put one legend back into retirement - now maybe I can do the same to Roy Jones."
