Calzaghe-Lacy is on!
Bout will take place in Wales in February or March!
Promoter Frank Warren has announced that WBO World Super-Middleweight Champion Joe Calzaghe will face IBF holder Jeff Lacy in a unification showdown set for early 2006. Warren was in New York last week locked in negotiations with Lacy's promoter Gary Shaw and US TV Network Showtime and has confirmed that the super-fight is signed and will take place in Cardiff in February or March. "This is the fight that Joe, the media and the fans wanted and I am absolutely delighted that following some hard work over the last few days the fight is on," Said Warren who will promote the show in association with Shaw. "It will be the biggest fight of the year in Britain and certainly one of the most highly anticipated fights on the world scene in recent years and it will take place in the UK." Shaw said, "Jeff is going over to Britain to prove to everyone that he is the greatest fighter at 168 pounds. This is the fight that the fans, myself and Jeff have been waiting for and will finally see who is the king of the division."
