Calzaghe steps up Hopkins chase


Calzaghe has little left to prove in the super middleweight division

Promoter Frank Warren says Bernard Hopkins can pick the "weight, date and town" for a Joe Calzaghe showdown.

"All we ask is that Joe gets a decent pay day," said Warren after Calzaghe's super middleweight win over Mikkel Kessler inked in his world elite place.

"We wanted the Hopkins fight years ago but when we agreed a deal he came back the next day asking double the money.

"Joe will fight in Hopkins' hometown of Philadelphia. If he's truly a warrior he must make this fight happen."
