The Pride of Wales — undefeated in 46 professional fights, Joe Calzaghe's extraordinary hand speed and volume punching made him the finest super middleweight champion of his era.

Joe Calzaghe retired undefeated with a professional record of 46-0, having unified the super middleweight division and beaten legends Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. His combination of extraordinary hand speed, fitness and intelligent boxing was virtually impossible to combat. He was trained throughout his career by his father Enzo, creating one of boxing's most celebrated father-son partnerships.

He made 21 consecutive defences of the WBO super middleweight title — the most in the division's history.
