LONDON, July 22 (UPI) -- Undefeated Englishman Joe Calzaghe injured his right hand training for his scheduled Sept. 20 bout with Roy Jones Jr., postponing the fight.
The fight, to take place in Madison Square Garden, is likely to be rescheduled for November, according to the British newspaper The Guardian. Calzaghe's The Ring Magazine light-heavyweight title will be at stake.
The 36-year-old Calzaghe, who has a 45-0 professional record and has owned the WBO super middleweight title since October 1997, gave up his WBC super middleweight belt to take the match with Jones. He still holds the WBO and WBA titles at super middleweight, but moved up to light-heavyweight in April and defeated Bernard Hopkins by split decision.
Jones, 39, has been a champion in four different weight classes and previously held the light-heavyweight title for seven different organizations.
