No, no, no, no, no.
Joe Calzaghe will defend his WBO super-middleweight world title against Peter Manfredo Jr at the Millennium Stadium in March, the BBC understands.
Manfredo came to prominence when he was runner-up on the reality television series 'The Contender', aimed at finding the next boxing sensation.
Confirmation that the fight will take place on 3 March is expected next week.
If confirmed, it means Calzaghe will be stripped of his IBF belt for avoiding a mandatory bout versus Robert Stieglitz.
Welshman Calzaghe has successfully defended his world title 19 times since winning it in 1997, while Manfredo Jr has a record of 26 victories, three defeats.
Manfredo Jr boasts career-high world ratings, ranked number seven by the World Boxing Organization and eight by the World Boxing Council.
Promoter Frank Warren had denied a fight had been sealed last week, though he admitted: "We would welcome a fight between Joe and Manfredo and I'm happy about the interest."
