Calzaghe looking to emulate Honeyghan in Vegas

JOE CALZAGHE is looking to emulate one of the great feats of British boxing when he fights Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas in April.

Calzaghe is hoping to mark his first workout in America at the age of 35 with a performance for British fans as devastating as the one which saw unfancied Lloyd Honeyghan dismantle Don Curry for the undisputed welterweight title in the gambling city back in 1986.

Calzaghe said: “Lloyd Honeyghan went out there and took apart one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in Don Curry. That’s what I’m looking to do, a Lloyd Honeyghan.
