Calzaghe will now self-promote the final super-fight of his career against Roy Jones after revealing his decision to part company with long-term promoter Warren.

And the Welshman said: "There are issues to be resolved with my former promoter Frank Warren and I hope they can be done so amicably."

Calzaghe, who has fought under Warren's Sports Network banner for 12 years, insisted his fight with legendary American Jones will be the last of his glittering career.

The fighters have reached an initial agreement to stage their showdown later this year - probably in Cardiff in October - when they intend to split the promotional duties between themselves.

Warren was unavailable for comment on Wednesday on Calzaghe's announcement in his local South Wales Argus newspaper, in which he also rubbished talk of a clash with middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik.

Calzaghe said: "I am now a free agent with no contract and intend to be self-managed from now on.

"I am the only person who can make negotiations for my next fight. Regarding that fight, I am not in negotiations with Kelly Pavlik, despite reports to the contrary.

"My intention is to fight Roy Jones Jnr, a four-weight world champion fighter. That would be a special event for me against a legend of the sport."
