Undefeated Calzaghe, 36, will fight for the 46th time and what he claims is the last time in his professional career, putting his Ring Magazine light-heavyweight championship on the line against Jones, a four-weight, eight-time title-holder.

"I'm definitely more up for this fight. I've been a lot more focused for this and a lot more psyched up for it and I'm excited. That's the big thing, I was not excited about my last fight (against Bernard Hopkins)," said Calzaghe.

"I underestimated Hopkins a little bit which I nearly paid for. So to fight Roy Jones at Madison Square Garden outside my comfort zone is a big deal.

"You know you have to perform to win. You have to go out and control it to win the fight and win it decisively, and that's what we aim to do."
