Joe Calzaghe is a British boxer. He is rated by Ring Magazine as pound for pound one of the top 10 boxers in the world.

He is the current WBO, WBC, WBA and Ring Magazine world super middleweight champion. He also holds the Ring light heavyweight title. He previously held the IBF world super middleweight and the British super middleweight championships.

Calzaghe is the longest reigning title holder in any weight class in boxing, recently passing the ten year mark as the WBO super middleweight champion. He is part of the Team Calzaghe boxing gym.
