Joseph William Calzaghe, born on March 23, 1972, is a Welsh former professional boxer who competed from 1993 to 2008. Over his illustrious career, he held multiple world championships in two weight classes, including unified and lineal titles at super middleweight, as well as The Ring magazine's light heavyweight title. Calzaghe is widely celebrated as the longest-reigning super middleweight world champion in boxing history. He held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) title for over a decade, defending it against 20 opponents, a record he shares with Sven Ottke. After conquering the super middleweight division, Calzaghe moved up to light heavyweight, extending his dominance.
Throughout his reign, Calzaghe retired with the longest continuous period as a world champion of any active boxer at the time. He was the first to unify three of the four major world titles—World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC), and WBO—at super middleweight. He also became the inaugural Ring champion in that weight class. Between 2006 and 2008, Calzaghe was consistently ranked among the top 10 pound-for-pound fighters by The Ring magazine, reaching a peak ranking of third in January 2009...
