Boxing fans must wait even longer
for the much anticipated match between Joe Calzaghe and Roy Jones Jr. A recent
wrist injury for Joe Calzaghe has prompted the scheduled match on September 20 at
Madison Square Garden to be postponed. John Wirt (the CEO of Roy Jones Jr’s.
promotional company Square Ring) said Tuesday that Calzaghe's attorney, Gareth
Williams, informed him of the injury. "He told me it's an injured right
wrist," Wirt said. "I was told that he hurt it on Sunday punching a
heavy bag. We're trying to reschedule [the fight] for November, and that works
for them, so the injury must be something they feel will heal sufficiently by
then." Wirt also mentioned he is talking to officials from Madison Square
Garden about an alternate date in November. Fans who purchased Madison Square
Garden Tickets for the fight, should be assured of entry to the postponed match
in November.
