SUPER cool Joe Calzaghe (pictured) has told American brawler Charles Brewer: 'I don't want a war'.

Instead the Newbridge southpaw promises his 'superior' boxing skills and iron-like jaw will be enough to blunt the so-called 'Hatchet' come Saturday.

Calzaghe acknowledges that the tenth defence of his WBO super-middleweight crown will be his toughest yet.

But he's promised his army of fans that there's no need to press the panic button when he goes glove-to-glove with the former IBF champion at Cardiff's International Arena.

"This is definitely one of my toughest fights," agreed Calzaghe, 30, who's tempted to retire his belt to fry even bigger fish at light-heavyweight next year.

"But I'm at my peak and I will win this fight a lot more comfortably than people think. "Yes, he will be one of my best opponents but I don't aim to make it a war with him."

And he added: "This is a massive opportunity for me as my defining fight could now just be around the corner."

Saturday makes for an interesting contest with Calzaghe targeting Brewer's biggest weakness as his chin. The Philadelphia fighter, meanwhile, has already been quick to counter by claiming Calzaghe can't punch.

The statistics fall in the Welshman's favour, though, with 27 of his 32-fight career victories coming by way of knockout - where three out of Brewer's eight defeats, from 45 bouts, has seen him hit the canvas.

"The guy has been knocked out before and you can't put muscles on your chin," Calzaghe attacked. "His punch resistance isn't the best.

"I won't go looking for the knockout because that will come in time. If I go looking, that's when you make a mistake.

"I'm a boxer and will use my boxing skills to win the fight. Rest assured when the time is right, I will take him out."

And Calzaghe, who could tackle undisputed middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins in the front of 40,000 fans at the Millennium Stadium this summer before moving up a weight, snapped: "If he thinks I can't punch, then he's in for a shock. I think he's trying to kid himself and give himself confidence."
