Despite celebrating his 48th birthday in January, Bernard Hopkins shows no signs of slowing down as he attempts to extend his record as boxing's oldest champion in New York on Saturday night.
Almost 20 years after his first world title tilt ended in defeat to Roy Jones in Washington, Hopkins will challenge for the IBF light-heavyweight title currently held by unbeaten Tavoris Cloud.
It will be Hopkins' first fight since his rematch loss via majority decision to Chad Dawson in April last year, which was assumed by many to be the last time the veteran Philadelphian would pull on the gloves.
However, Hopkins insists that while time will soon draw a close on his exploits, he is still "not satisfied" with a career that started in ignominious circumstances back in 1988, when he was outpointed on his debut by Clinton Mitchell.
