Undefeated world boxing champion, Joe Calzaghe, has earned another accolade without having to throw a single punch.

The Welshman who beat American fighter Roy Jones Jr earlier this month, has received a CBE from the Queen at an official investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

Mr Calzaghe, who is undefeated in 46 bouts, received the honour in recognition of his contribution to sport and voluntary services in Wales.
