Calzaghe: I'll call time on Hopkins

07 January 2008
Calzaghe and Hopkins have signed up for a super-fight in Las Vegas on April 19.
"This is the night 'The Executioner' gets executed," said Calzaghe, the world super-middleweight king who will be stepping up to light-heavy for the first time.
Forty-three-year-old Hopkins, who made 20 defences of his middleweight title before establishing himself in a higher division, said defiantly: "The British are coming and I ask everyone to come and see the execution of the Brit."
But Calzaghe, 35, is determined to emulate heavyweight great Rocky Marciano by ending his career unbeaten.
"I don't just keep fighting for the money. I want to be like Rocky Marciano, retire undefeated," added Calzaghe.
