Calzaghe has no interest in Hopkins

Joe Calzaghe has insisted he has no desire to offer "racist" Bernard Hopkins a rematch in what is sure to be his final fight.

Hopkins, who recovered from his April defeat to Calzaghe with a points win over Kelly Pavlik in October, was at Madison Square Garden on Saturday to see his old foe destroy countryman Roy Jones Jnr and stretch his unbeaten record to 46 fights.
The unbeaten Welshman has hinted he will consider one more fight before finally bringing the curtain down on his distinguished career - but has vowed it will not be against Hopkins, who taunted Calzaghe by insisting he would not lose to a "white boy" before their fight.
The 36-year-old told The Sun: "Screw Hopkins, man.
"He got his a*** kicked by a white boy and he's got to accept that.
"He's an idiot. I don't want to give him a rematch and it wouldn't be a good fight.
"The guy's a racist and he was never going to give me any credit.
"The way he fought against me in Las Vegas was cowardly because he held on all night and feigned being hit by low blows.
"He tried to steal the fight."
