Joe Calzaghe And The 2012 Olympics
EDM number 1847 in 2005-06, proposed by Bob Spink on 20/03/2006.
That this House congratulates Joe Calzaghe on winning his fight against Jeff Lacy on 5th March and thus unifying the WBO and IBF super-middleweight titles; believes his victory has brought pleasure to many boxing fans across the nation, and particularly in Newbridge in Blaenau Gwent, his home town; believes that if the United Kingdom is to continue to provide world sporting champions, particularly in the run up to the 2012 Olympic Games, then the sporting facilities for young people need to be improved through significant sporting infrastructure and training investment across the country; and looks forward to further world sporting champions coming from Wales.
This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
