abstract	'The Pride of Wales' - Joe Calzaghe - is one of the greatest boxers to have ever laced up the gloves and stepped into the ring. 2007's BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award winner is Britain's only undefeated boxing world champion and was the longest reigning boxing world champion of the modern era, holding the WBO, WBA, WBC and IBF super-middleweight belts during his remarkable 16-year career. Joe is the longest-reigning world champion in recent years, having held the WBO super middleweight title for over ten years until he relinquished the title to concentrate on fighting at light-heavyweight. Calzaghe, a southpaw, began boxing at age nine. In more than 120 amateur contests, he won four schoolboy ABA titles, followed by three consecutive senior British ABA titles (British Championships) between 1991 and 1993. This made him only the second boxer in history to win in welter, light-middleweight and middleweight divisions. He also beat future WBO and IBF world heavyweight champion as a middleweight in 1992. Calzaghe received his last defeats at the hands of Michael Smyth in the 1990 Welsh ABA final and Romanian amateur Adrian Opreda at the 1990 European Junior Championships in Prague. In February 2009, Joe announced his retirement, with an unbeaten record of 46 professional fights. Following his remarkable boxing career, Joe was the first person to be awarded the Freedom of Caerphilly, his home county, in 2009. Already a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2008 Queen's Birthday Honours. Joe was born in London to Sardinian Enzo and his Welsh mother Jackie. His mother never watched him box as she couldn't bear to see him get knocked about. The family moved to Wales when Joe was only 2 years old. He still lives in the area, with his two children (Joseph, 15 and Connor, 12).
