Calzaghe confirms broken hand

Joe Calzaghe has confirmed he broke his hand during Saturday's stoppage victory against Peter Manfredo in Cardiff.

The WBO super-middleweight champion has a history of hand problems and suffered another fracture against his American opponent at the Millennium Stadium en route to a third-round victory - the 20th defence of his title.

"I'm disappointed that I fractured my hand but that's boxing and injuries happen," he said. "I shouldn't be out for too long, though, probably about four weeks, and then I'll be back to light training."
