If you missed the Joe Calzaghe v Bernard Hopkins fight live on Setanta Sports last weekend, you can watch the full bout this Sunday at 12pm on BBC Two
Viewers in the UK will have their first chance to see a re-run of Joe Calzaghe's victory on free-to-air television, on BBC Two this Sunday 27th April at 12noon.
Joe Calzaghe, who was floored in the opening exchanges by boxing legend Bernard Hopkins, recovered to win a contentious split-decision victory.
Joe Calzaghe stepped up to light heavyweight for the first time in Las Vegas and is now undefeated in 45 fights. Calzaghe's victory will almost certainly see him acclaimed as the finest boxer Britain has ever produced.
Joe Calzaghe said after the fight "It was one of the toughest fights of my career. I'm a legend killer – I just finished B-Hop, maybe Roy Jones is next."
Last weekend's bout was watched by more than 14,000 fans from the boxing capital of the world, the majority of them Welsh, and a galaxy of celebrities, including Jay-Z, Beyonce, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
