Trinidad seeks Calzaghe bout

12 April 2012

Puerto Rican superstar Felix Trinidad has joined the list of big-name boxers wanting to fight Joe Calzaghe.

Calzaghe is set for a showdown with Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas on April 12, while Trinidad, 35, will move up from middleweight to fight 38-year-old Roy Jones Jr in New York on Saturday night at a catchweight of 170 pounds.

Trinidad, a three-division world champion, said: "After I win, and I intend to win, there are a lot of guys out there - but Joe Calzaghe is in my vision and in my future. I will go after him too."

Asked whether he intended to remain at 170 pounds for future fights, Trinidad added: "I feel stronger at 168, 170 pounds than at 160, so Joe Calzaghe is one of my top priorities."
