Welsh boxer Joe Calzaghe's fight with Roy Jones Jr date is set
 Welsh boxer Joe Calzaghe's delayed fight against his US opponent Roy Jones Jr has been announced as taking place on 8 November.
36-year-old Calzaghe, who has never been defeated, was forced to withdraw from their bout set for 20 September after he hurt his right hand whilst in a practice session.
The Madison Square Gardens will be the same venue as had been arranged before.
Calzaghe and 39-year-old Jones have both been reported to be retiring from boxing after this fight in New York, although Calzaghe has cast doubts on this now with regard to his own future.
Calzaghe has been on top of the super-middleweight division for almost 11 years, and he had been scheduled to begin a publicity tour of America next week until the injury forced him to cancel it.
Jones, who is an eight-times world champion in four weight classes, is certainly a formidable opponent for the Welsh star.
