The boxer recently split from his long-term girlfriend Jo-Emma Larvin and recent pictures of Calzaghe and Rihanoff fuelled rumours of a budding romance on the BBC1 dance show.
But speaking on BBC Breakfast ahead of the start of the new series on Friday September 18th, 37-year-old Calzaghe said he and Rihanoff were dance partners and nothing more.
'We spend a lot of time together and we get on as well, so that's really good, and we really enjoy the training, and that's about it really. That's it,' he added.
Rihanoff partnered people's favourite John Sergeant in the 2008 series but said she expects her retired pugilist partner to go far on this year's show.
'His footwork is pretty good, and I think you will see that tonight,' she said.
'There's a lot of pressure on him, I think, but he's working hard and I hope it's going to be a really good night for us.'
