It's 18 years this week since a young Joe Calzaghe stepped in with Chris Eubank

It's 18 years this weekend since Chris Eubank - now known as 'English' - took on a young Joe Calzaghe.

Here, Ringside takes you back to that night at the Sheffield Arena in 1997, when the Welshman set out to shake up the world against the man known as 'Simply the Best.'

It's another cracking fight to look back on and symbolised the dawning of a new era for the super-middleweight scene - both domestically and globally.
