BERNARD HOPKINS AND ROY JONES SET TO MEET IN LONG AWAITED REMATCH SATURDAY, APRIL 3 PhilBoxing.com Tue, 02 Feb 2010 NEW YORK AND LOS ANGELES MEDIA TOUR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9 AND 10 NEW YORK (February 1) . . . After 17 years the wait is over as sure-fire future Hall of Famers Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins and Roy "The Terminator" Jones Jr. collide in a long awaited rematch that will add the final chapter to their 17-year rivalry. The Rivals: Hopkins vs. Jones II is set for Saturday, April 3 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nev. The bout will be broadcast live on pay-per-view beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The fighters will participate in a press tour with stops in New York and Los Angeles next Tuesday and Wednesday, February 9 and 10, respectively. Hopkins (50-5-1, 32 KOs) and Jones (54-6, 40 KOs), two of boxing's most decorated and recognizable fighters who have given fans more than two decades worth of brilliant ring memories, will put it all on the line and leave no doubts as to who gets the bragging rights. "A rematch with Roy has been in the back of my mind for a long time and it's finally going to happen," said Hopkins. "I have accomplished a lot in my career since that night in Washington, DC in 1993, and I am going to end this thing between me and Roy once and for all." "We're giving the fans what they want to see. They deserve this fight and why not supply the fans with what they demand?" said Jones. "Now I can finally terminate the Executioner once and for all. My new nickname for this fight will be - The Terminator." More information on the media tour and this spectacular night of showmanship and boxing will be forthcoming.  |
