One more fight and I'm done, insists Joe Calzaghe who looks set to face Roy Jones Jnr

His split-decision victory over Bernard Hopkins 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 no. I'm 36, boxing's my job but I've got other things in my life.

Just champion: Joe Calzaghe celebrates victory over Bernard Hopkins
"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 believes 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."
