 Calzaghe is expected to fight in Cardiff in February |
Promoter Frank Warren plans to announce a "big fight" for super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe next week. The bout will probably be in Cardiff in February, with Warren saying he hopes to secure an American opponent.
If Calzaghe wins, Warren says a "mega fight" will follow in the summer, maybe against Jermain Taylor in the USA.
The news could scupper the immediate hopes of Denmark's WBC & WBA champion Mikkel Kessler of a unification bout with Wales' WBO & IBF king Calzaghe.
WBC & WBO middleweight champion Taylor, 28, is - like Calzaghe and Kessler - undefeated, and holds two wins over Bernard Hopkins.
Calzaghe met Taylor's promoter Lou Di Bella on a trip to the US earlier this week, where he made an impression on the American media.
WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli will be on Calzaghe's February undercard, that is set to be in Britain with TV rights sold to the US.
