Roy Jones Jr and Welshman Joe Calzaghe appeared together for their official weigh-in at Madison Square Garden ahead of their highly-anticipated light-heavyweight Ring Magazine title bout.
The undefeated Calzaghe meets Jones in New York in a showdown that could define both their careers. Both Calzaghe and Jones weighed in at 174.5lbs.
Jones said: "This is the best fight to happen this year. I thank God for the opportunity. I thank you all for being here. Cheer your man on. Roy Jones is back and I'm ready to go."
His opponent, The Pride of Wales, said of his opponent: "Roy's a great fighter. Madison Square Garden is a great place.You're going to see one awesome show tomorrow night and I'll still be undefeated. I'll tell you that."
Calzaghe, 45-0 with 32 KOs, expects both he and Jones to be in top form for their bout as US veteran Jones, 52-4 with 38 KOs, tries to return from years of struggling.
Jones, who at 39 is three years older than Calzaghe, has won all five of his previous fights at the Garden. He won the middleweight title 15 years ago, the heavyweight title five years ago and dominated at various light heavyweight division bouts.
