Friday 17th May 2024, Scarborough Spa
R M Events are delighted to welcome the longest-reigning super-middleweight world champion in boxing history Joe Calzaghe to Scarborough Spa on Friday 17th May 2024. On the night you will be able to listen to Joe’s stories of his amazing boxing career as both super-middleweight and light-heavyweight champion. This is a fantastic opportunity for British boxing fans to enjoy an evening in the company of Joe a true undefeated king of the sport. The night will be hosted by well known Jed Stone, who will ensure the guests have a great night throughout. The evening will consist of a sit down interview with Joe Calzaghe, your chance to ask questions, games to win some sporting memorabilia and an interval raffle and auction.
Nicknamed the “Pride of Wales” and the “Italian Dragon” Calzaghe is the longest-reigning super-middleweight world champion in boxing history, having held the WBO title for over 10 years and defending the title against 20 opponents (a record in the division, shared with Sven Ottke) before moving up to light-heavyweight. As his super-middleweight and light-heavyweight reigns overlapped, he retired with the longest continual time as world champion of any active boxer at the time. Calzaghe was also the first boxer to unify three of the four major world titles (WBA, WBC, and WBO) at super-middleweight, and was the first Ring champion in that weight class.
Between 2006 and 2008, Calzaghe was ranked by The Ring as one of the world’s top ten active boxers, pound for pound, reaching a peak ranking of third in January 2009. He retired in February 2009 with an undefeated record, and as a reigning world champion. As of 2022, BoxRec ranks Calzaghe as the twenty-fourth greatest fighter of all time, pound for pound, as well as the second-greatest European boxer of all time.
In 2007, Calzaghe won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award. Already an MBE, he was elevated to CBE in the 2008 Queen’s Birthday Honours. Calzaghe was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2014.
