Joe Calzaghe may face Antwun Echols
Antwun Echols is being considered as Joe Calzaghe's next opponent. Calzaghe is scheduled to defend his WBO super middleweight title on February 11.
Echols (31-5-1 27 KOs) is best known for giving middleweight kingpin, Bernard Hopkins a rough ride in a losing effort and – more recently – for losing a unanimous decision to Australia's Anthony Mundine in a WBA Super Middleweight title fight.
The card on February 11, at Manchester's MEN Arena, will also feature British amateur boxing sensation, Amir Khan. It is the first in a series of pro-am boxing events scheduled for 2005.
