Hopkins eyes Calzaghe

BERNARD HOPKINS has insisted he “would love” to step into the ring with Joe Calzaghe.

The Welshman called for a light heavyweight super-fight with the veteran Hopkins immediately after he was crowned undisputed super middleweight champion with a victory over Mikkel Kessler in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Calzaghe’s promoter Frank Warren has called a press conference for today when he is expected to announce the bout, although there are still plenty of major promotional obstacles to overcome.
