Hopkins attempts to unify titles
Print Edition
AGE-DEFYING Bernard Hopkins, trying to become an undisputed light heavyweight world champion at 50, will fight unbeaten Russian Sergey Kovalev.
No exact site or date for the bout was announced, although promoters said on Monday it would be in early November on the East Coast of the United States, making New York or Atlantic City likely choices.
Hopkins, the oldest major world champion in boxing history, is the International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association champion. He will turn 50 next January and hopes to add Kovalev’s World Boxing Organization crown to his trophy haul. “Everything I do at this point in my career affects my legacy,” Hopkins said. “I’ve set and broken many records, but becoming the oldest undisputed light heavyweight world champion is the goal and Kovalev stands in the way of that goal.”
