BOXING legend Roy Jones Jr says he has been approached to fight fellow Hall of Famer Joe Calzaghe.
Jones Jr returned to the boxing ring in November when he fought Mike Tyson in an exhibition eight-rounder.
The two Americans drew that – and Jones Jr is seemingly happy to carry on fighting some of the sport’s true legends.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the 52-year-old said: “I was told the other day that Joe Calzaghe is thinking about coming back and wants me to fight him.
“Then Tommy Hearns wants to do a five-round fight! Then Shannon Briggs.
“They all want to beat up poor old Roy. Why? I don’t know why. I don’t have anything to prove but I still love boxing.”
Calzaghe’s last pro fight was actually a unanimous points win against Jones Jr in 2008.
At the age of 49, if the two fought again they would have a combined age of 101.
The news comes just days after Brit boxing legend Lennox Lewis confirmed he IS in talks to fight Mike Tyson again.
Lewis was the victor when the two former heavyweight champs fought in 2002, knocking out the ‘Baddest Man On The Planet’ in the eighth round.

Tyson, 54, started negotiations for a trilogy bout with Holyfield, 58, before a deal collapsed.
He then claimed he would make his return in September against Lewis.
Lewis, 55, responded while commentating on Andy Ruiz Jr’s return fight on FOX Sports and admitted there is communication with Tyson’s camp.
He said: “Not yet, but soon — maybe. We’re talking.”
Lewis himself retired just one fight and 12 months after beating Iron Mike.
