time. This is sure to be another great night in the British sporting calendar,
and we are delighted to be able to offer Joe Calzaghe’s fans the chance to
watch him in action in this amazing city. We expect a huge number of boxing
fans to make the journey and will be using our expertise to ensure they have a
memorable trip.” said Danny Talbot, Thomas Cook Sport managing director.
“I want all the British
fans out in force in Las Vegas
to support me in my big fight against Bernard Hopkins. When I get into that
ring on April 19th, I want to feel like I’m boxing at home in Great Britain.
With all the support, cheering and singing the fans will be doing on the night,
I’m sure it will spur me on to a great victory.” Calzaghe said.
