The pair had been scheduled to meet in a light-heavyweight bout at Madison Square Garden, New York, in September in potentially the 36-year-old's final fight.

Calzaghe, who has suffered a string of hand injuries in the past, was due to see a specialist on Tuesday to determine the extent of the problem.

The WBO and former WBC super-middleweight champion's camp have already begun negotiations with American pay-per-view broadcaster HBO in an attempt to find a new date for the fight.

It is understood Calzaghe suffered the injury while hitting a heavy punchbag in training, although a source told PA Sport it is "not career threatening".

The fight with Jones Jr was widely expected to be Calzaghe's last before retirement, but he has refused to relinquish his WBO title ahead of the contest and last week suggested he could take on Kelly Pavlik at 12 stone next year.
