Calzaghe relishing Vegas test

Joe Calzaghe is looking to emulate one of the great feats of British boxing when he fights Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas in April.

Calzaghe, 35, is hoping to mark his first workout in America with a performance as impressive as the one which saw unfancied Lloyd Honeyghan dismantle Don Curry for the undisputed welterweight title in 1986.

"Lloyd Honeyghan went out there and took apart one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in Don Curry. That's what I'm looking to do - a Lloyd Honeyghan," said Calzaghe.

"Get out there, take things in my stride and do the business. A ring's a ring. It doesn't matter if it's in Wales, England, Italy, Las Vegas. I'm pretty chilled out. I don't let things get in the way of me.

"Yeah, he's going to try to wind me up but I'll just take it in my stride."
