Welsh star Joe Calzaghe retired unbeaten, at 46-0, following a career that brought him world titles in two weight classes and the scalps of the likes of Jeff Lacy, Mikkel Kessler, Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones, Richie Woodhall, Robin Reid and countless others. Inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2014 alongside Oscar De La Hoya and Felix Trinidad, he was trained by his late father Enzo, from being a young amateur through to those huge stadium nights and under the bright lights of American arenas. Calzaghe has seen and done it all, but the loss of his father still clearly hurts. You might know Joe Calzaghe the fighter, but after listening to this you will also know Joe Calzaghe the man.
