Contrary to the many reports out there, Bernard Hopkins is not chasing a rematch with Felix "Tito" Trinidad. Last week promoter Don King met with Trinidad in Puerto Rico and told the local media that he flew in to discuss a rematch with Hopkins. King told the local media that it was Hopkins and his team who made contact with them for the fight. Hopkins disputes that and says it is Trinidad and King who are chasing after the fight.
Hopkins doesn't know if they are using his name to secure another fight, but he wouldn't rule a rematch out. He handed Trinidad his first loss in 2001, knocking the Puerto Rican icon out in the twelfth round. According to Hopkins, King has not contacted him and he didn't hear anything about a Trinidad rematch from Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer.
