NEW YORK, Jan 5: Bernard Hopkins expects to fight British world super-middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe in Las Vegas in April with the contract to be signed next week.
Calzaghe challenged the American after adding the WBC and WBA belts to the WBO crown he already held with a unanimous decision over Dane Mikkel Kessler last November.
“I believe the date (is) the 11th or the 12 of April,” Hopkins told the Boxing Talk website on Friday.
“I know I’m just looking to make it happen. I don’t believe anything is signed yet. I got a letter from Arnold Joseph and Richard Schaeffer (CEO of Golden Boy Promotions) saying that we have an oral agreement.—Reuters
