Bernard Hopkins recently had an interview with Philly.com in which he stated he would like to end his 27 year career in London, England facing newly crowned IBF super middleweight champion, James DeGale. The plan for the fight would be for it to happen in October and also for HBO to televise the fight in the United States with Sky Sports handling the UK side and Matchroom Boxing promoting the event.

As with any self reported fight announcements and especially with Bernard Hopkins this should be taken with a grain of salt, but at the same time it seems feasible as Hopkins swan song. Hopkins, who is a lock for the hall of fame as he became the oldest boxing champion ever after beating Tavoris Cloud in 2013 as gained the IBF light heavyweight strap, is looking for one last bout for his career since he wants to have a fight after turning 50 years-old.
