Joe, how does it feel to be fighting in the mecca of boxing, Madison Square Garden?
Joe Calzaghe (1:07 PM)
It's where I chose to fight and it's a great feeling because so many great fighter have fought there before. I'm really excited about it and can't wait for the fight to start.
Mike, Maryland
Even at 39, Jones is one of the quickest fighters I've ever seen. How does Calzaghe deal with that quickness?
Joe Calzaghe (1:09 PM)
He is very quick but don't forget I'm very fast myself. I'm not that worried about what he will do, I'm more concerned about what I will do. But it's going to be a great fight.

After you retire what are your plans after boxing??? Will you work strictly as a promoter or be more involved with the younger fighters like a trainer?
Joe Calzaghe (1:09 PM)
I have a couple of options but I don't know what it is that I might do right now.
