A hand injury has ruled out Joe Calzaghe from his triumphant Homecoming at the Millennium Stadium on July 8. The WBO & IBF World Super-Middleweight Champion damaged his left hand, the same hand in which he broke a bone in against Evans Ashira last September, in a training session this week. Calzaghe is absolutely devastated that the injury has once again held up his career and his dream of headlining at the Welsh landmark. Despite Calzaghe's withdrawal, Frank Warren's show at the Millennium Stadium will still go ahead with a superb six-title fight card including the highly anticipated Heavyweight rematch between Danny Williams and Matt Skelton, Swansea's KO King Enzo Maccarinelli leads the Welsh charge along with the explosive shoot-out between Gary Lockett and Ryan Rhodes for the WBU Middleweight title.

WOW

I AM TOTALLY PISSED!!

Nearly crying to be more exact!!

Joe said he hardly does any sparring these days because of the hand, i wonder if we have seen the final chapter in his career?? Lets remember he nearly pulled out of the Lacy fight because of a hand problem 4 weeks before the fight. Oh well another great card not going to happen.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn it!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! This sucks....

If this is the case then I am sure that Joe is going to attract a lot of abuse for this, BUT before all the haters pile in consider this:

If he has broke his hand which is quite likely as it seems to be a recurring injury he cannot fight, even with the best will in the world.

Having said that I am sure that haters are now going to pile in with all sorts of abuse.

I can't see anyway that the hand cand be sufficeintly fixed, it has gone in his last 3 fights and in training for the last 2, I reckon he's got 1 fight left and better just hope that the hand holds up!!

SHAME

Well if they do mate there no boxing fans, you have to be pretty stupid if you think this is anything but legit, come on he is fighting in front of his own fans in his own country after putting up his best display of his career, lets just see who the haters are my guess would be the usual suspects.

Yeh where did we find out about that

[Fenster]

Well its a bit of a "coincedence" he's busted his hand when they've had so much trouble finding an opponent and still no one had been named but obviously he has well documented hand trouble so its perfectly understandable

Bollocks for the thousands that have already bought tickets.

Come on, I'm sure that the Welsh are gonna be chuffed to turn out and watch Danny Williams and Matt Skelton the night before the World Cup final

[Wacko3205]

Well...this sucks...but injury's happen all the time...a lot lately with Joe though.

He's nearing the end of his career IWO.

Thing is...it seems like lately all of my favs are getting injured...Floyd, Joe Cal, Kessler, Sturm, the list goes on & on...

What the fwock do you do?

[chrisbird13]

I think the stadium may not be as full now, as I am sure there were a lot of people going because they are welsh and to support Calzaghe, and not genuine fight fans. If you aren't a fight fan watching Matt and Danny wobble around for 12 rounds could be fairly unappealing! (Even if you are it could be unappealing!)

Although now it does seem Amir will be the biggest draw for another fight night due to another fighter pulling out. I am sure this is not what Warren wants, as he is being stuck on very big cards just so he doesn't get ahead of himself. AT the moment becasue of all the hype surrounding him it seems to take a world champion to overshadow Amir
