Joe Calzaghe will put his undefeated record on the line when he faces Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

The fight is billed as ‘the super-fight’ with both men boasting phenomenal records. Calzaghe has won 44 out of 44 with 32 of those victories coming inside the distance. He’s also been world champion at super-middleweight for over 10 years. coral.co.uk

Bernard Hopkins made unprecedented 20 successful defences of the IBF middle-weight crown and has won 32 of his 48 bouts by way for knock-out. He returned from a brief retirement last year at light- heavyweight and picked up where he left off winning both fights at his new weight.

Calzaghe will come into this fight as favourite. He is the form boxer and his latest few victories, especially his win over the then undefeated Martin Kessler, have been very impressive. He also faces a boxer who is very much at the tail end of his career and some critics have said this is Hopkin’s chance at one last big payday. coral.co

There are some obstacles for the Italian Dragon to overcome though. This is his first fight in Vegas and factors like the climate and a passionate American crowd can throw off even the most talented of fighters. Also he has to step up a weight division, which is new territory and we don’t know how it will affect him. But as long as the fight lives up to the hype the boxing fans will be happy with the outcome.
