BoxNation viewers get to witness one of the most remarkable fighters ever to lace up when Bernard Hopkins opens the defence of his IBF World Light-Heavyweight title against Karo Murat at The Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City this Saturday.
Incredibly, the ex-con from the mean streets of Philadelphia has been hustling at the highest level for over 20 years now. In 30 world title fights he has been mastered just four times. Last March, he extended his own record as the oldest fighter to ever win a recognised world championship by comprehensively schooling Florida’s Tavoris Cloud.
It was Hopkins’ sixth world title belt with one of the ‘Big Four’ sanctioning bodies, and accomplished at the ripe old age of 48 years and 53 days! Known as ‘The Executioner’, he is an absolute ‘shoe in’ to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota as soon as he becomes eligible.
