Comments Thread For: Schaefer on Hopkins-Murat, Status of Cleverly Getting Next

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer informed BoxingScene.com that IBF light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins, 48-years-old, is not quite ready to end his historic run in the sport.

Hopkins (53-6-2, 32KOs) plans to return in the summer, on a date in July or August, against his mandatory Karo Murat (25-1-1, 15KOs). The fight is being targeted for the East Coast, possibly at Barclays Center in Brooklyn or a venue in Atlantic City.

Murat was the mandatory challenger to then champion Tavoris Cloud. In order to finalize a fight between Hopkins and Cloud, Schaefer reached an agreement with Murat's promoter, Sauerland Event, regarding the step-aside terms.

When was the last time Hopkins fought 3 times in 1 year? Unsure on Cleverly as really has not stepped up since he was given the belt!

48 years old fighting AT LEAST twice in a year... Maybe 3. Crazy.

Lose to Campillo and get Hopkins. Is Campillo the anti-Berto of 175?

He beat Murat.

And what is really amazing is that we could be seeing him become an undisputed champion one year shy of 50 years old if he faces Cleverly after Murat.
