20.01.08 Jones targets Calzaghe next

Roy Jones Jr stepped up his bid to fight Joe Calzaghe after he overcame fellow veteran Felix Trinidad at Madison Square Garden. The 39-year-old believes he still has what it takes to compete with boxing's best, three years after being written off as past his prime.

The American eight-time, four-weight title holder believes a showdown with Wales' undisputed world super-middleweight champion Calzaghe will restore his reputation.

Jones and the promoter Don King claimed they would be flying to Wales by private jet today in an effort to ratchet up the pressure on Calzaghe and his promoter Frank Warren to agree to a fight in Cardiff, either after the Welshman has fought Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas in April or as replacements for the 43-year-old Hopkins.
