Clinton Woods has promised to ruin Joe Calzaghe’s plans when he defends his IBF light heavyweight title against Jamaican Glen Johnson in Bolton on Saturday night.
Calzaghe has said he wants Johnson to win to set up a profitable fight between them next year. “It is doing my head in that all people are talking about is Calzaghe,” said Woods. “They are conjuring up these little plans, and when I reverse them I will have the biggest smile on my face. I know I am number one in the world but everybody is still talking about Johnson being the best,” added Woods. “This is without doubt the biggest fight of my career and it would be my biggest win. Certain people think this fight is wrapped up already and I can’t wait to prove everybody wrong.” Woods has a 3lbs weight advantage over Johnson in Saturdays contest after weighing in at 175lbs at Friday’s weigh-in. Calzaghe plans to return to the ring against Cameroon’s Sakio Bika next month in Manchester and his promoter Frank Warren has been working on a major fight early next year for him.
