All is not well in the Calzaghe household

THE wife of world boxing champ Joe Calzhage was yesterday nursing a broken finger - after tangling with her beefy husband.
Mandy, just eight stone, suffered a technical knockout in a freak accident during a night out with the world super-middleweight champion.
Mandy, 33, grabbed bruiser Joe to tug him into a taxi - but caught her finger in his jacket pocket.
She cried out in pain as she wrenched her middle finger in his black bomber jacket - and an X-ray showed she had broken the finger of her left hand.
Mother-of-three Mandy said, "The nurses in casualty asked me how I had done it.
"I jokingly said I had punched Joe - but all that happened was a bit of an accident on a night out in Cardiff."
Mandy yesterday had a splint on her finger after going to casualty at the Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport.
She said, "We were with friends and had got into a taxi for the journey home. Joe was standing beside the cab and I just told him to get in and got hold of his coat.
"Unfortunately, I caught the inside of his pocket and my finger was wrenched."
Mandy, who lives with Joe at their luxury home in Cwmbran, said, "I didn't think anything about it but, when I woke up next day, it was painful and swollen.
"I couldn't believe that I had broken my finger over such a little thing."
Ever heard the saying: "She doth protest too much!"
