Sports Network Promoter Frank Warren confirmed to Fightnews.com this evening that WBO/IBF Super-middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe will return to action at the MEN Arena in Manchester on October 14th. He stated, "Joe will return to the 20,000 MEN Arena in Manchester where he had his crowning night to beat Jeff Lacy in March for the unification of the WBO and IBF titles. We hope to announce the details of the opponent on Wednesday once the contract is signed. The bout will be at 168 pounds and part of a triple world title bill on October 14th. If Joe is successful in this bout and Glen Johnson defeats Clinton Woods on September 2nd in the UK then they will both fight for the IBF Light-heavyweight title early in 2007. That deal has been agreed in principle for the winners of both fights coming up and represents a great incentive to both of them." Sports Network hope to announce opponent details tommorrow.

I'm sure that everyone has that special someone that they want Joe to beat or...to beat Joe...but let's just conentrate on whom you'd most like to see him fight before the proposed Johnson bout of 2007.

The options that I posted are the only ones that I feel are remotely legit & I am sure that none of them will be chosen & Joe will fight some tune upish fall guy...but they are what they are...
