Joe Calzaghe beendet seine große Karriere wegen der chronischen verletztung seiner hand.
super-middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe was given the fright of his life by a doctor following his easy third round victory over Peter Manfredo in Cardiff earlier this month.
Boxing’s longest reigning world champion, 35, once again hurt one of his fists during a WBO title defense and sought medical advice.
But the first doctor Calzaghe consulted informed the unbeaten Welshman that the damage to his scaphoid bone (in the base of the thumb) was so severe that he would be forced into retirement.
However, although a little shaken by the news, the 43-0 (32) champion wisely sought a second opinion.
The second expert said that the bone was healing quickly and although a mooted July appearance at London’s Millennium Dome was torpedoed, Calzaghe will be just fine in time for a scheduled September ‘super fight’.
Calzaghe has struggled with injuries to his elbows and hands throughout his outstanding career.
