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.
