Jones calls out Calzaghe

Roy Jones Jr has volunteered to fight undefeated super-middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe.

Former three-weight champion ready for anyone

Roy Jones Jr has volunteered to fight undefeated super-middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe. The 38-year-old light heavyweight is set to meet Puerto Rican Felix Trinidad in mid-January, but has no plans of stopping there. With Bernard Hopkins looking increasingly likely to duck Calzaghe's challenge Jones has put himself forward as the next contender. Defeats to Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson have tainted his reputation as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters on the planet, but Jones insists he has rediscovered his magic.

Motivation

"I haven't felt this excited about a fight in a very long time," Jones said of his bout with Trinidad. "You haven't seen me this pumped up in a long while. "I have my fire and energy back. I don't know how I lost it, but I know I got it back. Tito says it won't last two rounds. I'm going to be nice and give him two more rounds and beat him in four. "I can fight at practically any weight right now. I can drop down to 168 pounds and take on Joe Calzaghe. I'll fight him anywhere he wants. Jones Jr is back and ready to fight." Jones must back up his tough-talking with victory at Madison Square Garden on January 19 before he can even contemplate a fight with the Welshman though.
