New date set for Calzaghe v Jones
Joe Calzaghe's super-fight with American great Roy Jones Jr will now take place on 8 November.
The undefeated Welshman pulled out of their scheduled 20 September show at Madison Square Gardens after injuring his right hand in training.
The light-heavyweight fight has been rearranged at the same venue.
Calzaghe, 36, and Jones, 39, are both expected to bring an end to their illustrious careers after the bout in New York.
Calzaghe, who has ruled the super-middleweight division for almost 11 years, was due to start a media tour of the United States next week until the injury occurred during his first training session in preparation for the planned September showdown.
Jones, an eight-times world champion in four weight classes, won a unanimous decision over Felix Trinidad in his last bout in January.

I hope Calzaghe wins, i've never seen Jones fight so I can't tell who will win.
Anyone here properly know their stuff. Who's gonna win?

Roy Jones JR. is very unorthodox. He possessed lightning fast hand speed and quite a bit of power, even beating a heavy weight at one point in his career. Jones could definitely beat Calzaghe. It just depends on how Jones shows up. He poses a lot of problems for Calzaghe. Should be an interesting fight.
Jones record by the way:
52 Wins (38 knockouts, 14 decisions), 4 Losses (2 knockouts, 1 decision, 1 disqualification), 0 Draws
