A Quote by Joe Calzaghe

I'm somebody from a little tiny town, who had boxed in leisure centres, and my last fight was in Madison Square Garden against one of the greats. What a great way to finish off.

It's still one of the proudest moments in my career boxing at Madison Square Garden. Some fighters who have won titles and championships have never boxed at Madison Square Garden. For a little kid just off a council estate to do it was a dream come true.

Ricky Hatton

I already achieved my dream by fighting at Madison Square Garden for my second pro fight. I felt like I won the world title already, and I only had two professional fights. Madison Square Garden stands alone as far as boxing venues are concerned, and I dream about going back there again.

Ricky Hatton

When I would go into Madison Square Garden, I wasn't the most popular guy. Madison Square Garden, there's 16,000 Puerto Ricans with knives and great radios and stuff.

Roddy Piper

My second pro fight was at Madison Square Garden, on the undercard of Naseem Hamed's fight against Kevin Kelley.

Ricky Hatton

A lot of greats from England have fought in New York. I remember when Naseem Hamed fought at Madison Square Garden against Kevin Kelley and knocked him out.

James DeGale

We still haven't played Madison Square Garden. That's a benchmark. Something will have gone seriously wrong if we don't play Madison Square Garden for this album.

Dan Hawkins

Where I've come from and my background, to fight at Madison Square Garden against the biggest name in boxing is unbelievable.

Rocky Fielding

Coming over to Bellator, it was a great decision. I came over and had the opportunity to fight for the light heavyweight title right away at Madison Square Garden.

Ryan Bader

We're in Madison Square Garden, I can't let you beat me in Madison Square Garden, are you serious!?

Roy Jones Jr.

I hope that Ring Of Honor could one day sell out Madison Square Garden when WWE is not in town.

Kevin Owens

I want to fight in Madison Square Garden because it's the mecca of boxing. This is my dream.

Gennady Golovkin

I was fortunate enough to fight at Madison Square Garden, Vegas and the City of Manchester Stadium.

Ricky Hatton

It's always been a dream of mine to fight at Madison Square Garden, and it's something I really relish.

Gennady Golovkin

The Madison Square Garden is a great arena to play at.

Manu Ginobili

I would love to have gone there, fight at Madison Square Garden or a casino in Las Vegas, but there are no American heavyweights now who can pose a challenge to me.
