Boxing: JONES JR NEXT UP FOR JOE; BOXING: CALZAGHE v HOPKINS, LAS VEGAS, TONIGHT, FROM 10.30PM LIVE ON SETANTA SPORTS 1.(Sport) - The Mirror (London, England)

Byline: DAVID ANDERSON in Las Vegas

JOE CALZAGHE is in line for an emotional farewell fight back home in Wales against Roy Jones Junior.

Calzaghe faces Bernard Hopkins tonight - and if he wins he is set to take on the pound-for-pound king.

Talks have already started between both camps and the fight could take place at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on November 15.

Jones is in Las Vegas and will be ringside for Calzaghe's US debut with Hopkins.

And he admits he would love to fight the Welshman.

'If it's big enough, I'll do it,' said the American.

'I'm taking Calzaghe to win and that would be a fight I would be interested in.'

Meanwhile, fellow Brit Amir Khan is backing Calzaghe to conquer America.

Khan, along with David Haye, Enzo Maccarinelli and Gavin Rees, has flown over to support Calzaghe.

And the lightweight said: 'I can only see one winner - and that's Joe. He deserves to make it big in America.'
