Calzaghe considers his options

23 January 2008
The 36-year-old Welshman touched down at Gatwick Airport barely two days after defeating Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas, with Roy Jones Jr now on his shortlist for a final bout.
But when asked if he could go beyond one more fight, he said: "You never know. To be honest it's probably one more fight. They are the famous last words of many fighters - we'll have to wait and see."
The immediate plans are to "chill out" on holiday before assessing his options, but Calzaghe will then have his pick of who to face next.
"Where can we go? The world has absolutely opened up for Joe," explained Enzo Calzaghe, his father and trainer.
"There are a lot of choices to make when we come back from holiday.
"We have choices after that performance - America, Manchester, Cardiff. There is huge variety. The big fights are there now.
"His legacy has been achieved now - there is nothing more to achieve. He's the main man and they're all after him, they are all coming out."
Antonio Tarver, the IBF light-heavyweight world champion, is one of those who have publicly sounded out Calzaghe, along with former four-weight world champion Jones.
"It's amazing," said Calzaghe. "For so many years I was avoided and all of a sudden everyone wants to fight me. It's a great position to be in."
