The most significant unification world title bout in years will air live on SHOWTIME at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast) from the MEN Arena in Manchester, England. The highly anticipated, long-awaited match up is promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, in association with Frank Warren’s Sport Network.
JOE CALZAGHE
“This fight is great for our division. Lacy is a good fighter, but he has not fought Joe Calzaghe. I have respect for Lacy, but if he’s underestimating me, he made a mistake coming here.
“I am a step up from what Jeff Lacy is used to.
“My training has gone well. I am really excited now that the fight is almost here. I’m ready to go 12 rounds if I need to.”
