Frustrated Calzaghe is likely to move up a division to secure big matches

JOE CALZAGHE’S frustration at failing to secure meaningful matches at super-middleweight is likely to prompt him to move up a division in the new year.

Calzaghe defends his WBO 12-stone crown against American late substitute Tocker Pudwill at the Telewest Arena in Newcastle tonight.

The Welshman acknowledges he is running out of options with his fellow champions unwilling to indulge his promoter Frank Warren's attempts to secure unification matches.
