The former heavyweight boxing champion, who has fallen on hard times due to failed business ventures, two divorces and hefty six-figure annual child support bills, recently lost his mega-mansion in a foreclosure auction.
Calzaghe - who had won the award three times previously - cemented his place as one of boxing's all-time greats by stepping up from the super-middleweight division he ruled for more than a decade to beat American greats Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr at light-heavyweight.
