Joe Calzaghe knockout girl

Boxing superstar Joe Calzaghe is desperate to floor Bernard Hopkins tomorrow so he can enjoy knockout sex with his gorgeous girlfriend.

The undefeated super middleweight champ, 36, insists on a strict “no nookie” rule for a clear seven days before entering the ring.

But our snaps of sizzling Jo-Emma Larvin, 26, reveal why Calzaghe struggles to stick to his self-imposed ban, admitting: “It’s really tough.”

Yorkshire-born Jo-Emma said: “We give it a rest for about a week. Any longer than that is pointless. It doesn’t really affect your ability to box, you can either fight or you can’t. And Joe certainly can!”

She also helps him keep in perfect shape by hiding biscuits and cakes at their south Wales home to stop him piling on any unwanted extra pounds.

But she does tend to distract him a bit with her own gorgeous figure – and her belly dancing. She said: “I was at a restaurant in the Middle East and watched a girl do it and fell in love with it.

“I have lessons and I’m quite good now. I love dancing for Joe and he enjoys watching me. I also love salsa dancing, too, but I haven’t managed to get Joe to learn that yet!”

Welshman Calzaghe takes on American Hopkins, 43, in Las Vegas tomorrow night for his first light heavyweight title fight. Nearly 10,000 Brits have flown out to be there.

Stars are also throwing their weight behind our man, including movie legend Al Pacino, 67, who said: “He’s amazing to watch. What he brings into the ring – it’s almost like acting.”

Calzaghe cranked up the fighting talk last night, reacting to claims that Hopkins’s stretch in a tough US jail may give him the edge.

He said: “I was born hard. I was knocking out sparring partners who had been to prison when I was 14. I don’t care about his reputation. I am going to make a grown man cry.”
