It’s possible all-time great Bernard Hopkins is not happy over how his career came to an end: with him being sent through the ropes and stopped by Joe Smith Jr in December of 2016.
Too early for an April Fool’s joke? Bernard Hopkins is sure to raise a few eyebrows with his latest comments regarding a possible Gennady Golovkin Vs.
Bernard Hopkins says nobody beats Teofimo Lopez right now at 135, and he believes he’s going to keep winning for a long, long time.
Bernard ‘The Executioner’ Hopkins says he’s interested in coming out of retirement for a third fight against Roy Jones Jr. He says they’re both knotted up at 1-1 with a victory apiece between them, and he’d like to break that tie by beating Roy again.
Roy Jones Jr has a warning to Mike Tyson that if he gets crazy in their eight-round exhibition match on September 12, he says he’s going to do something crazy back.
