Comments Thread For: Hopkins, Golden Boy Donate Funds For Frazier Statue

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

PHILADELPHIA - IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion Bernard "The Alien" Hopkins is pleased to announce that he and Golden Boy Promotions have made a significant donation to fund the completion of the previously announced Joe Frazier statue that will stand nine feet tall outside of Xfinity Live in Philadelphia's sports stadium complex (corner of Patterson and 11th Street). Hopkins, a friend of the Frazier family and a Philadelphia boxing legend in his own right, is set to once again showcase his fighting roots when he steps into the ring on Saturday, April 19 against WBA and IBA titleholder Beibut Shumenov at the DC Armory in Washington, D.C. live on SHOWTIMEŽ.

Yea, I am sure he will get one. It will probably bring tear to his eye too - just look at him tear up in the video in my sig when he sees his mural. Even wolves cry.
