Bernard Hopkins, light heavyweight boxing champion, was all wound up to arrange a
match with Joe Calzaghe last November. Calzaghe had just won his bout against Kessler, and made a challenge to Hopkins.
Hopkins was watching it all on TV. He got so revved up that he immediately called Richard Schaeffer of Golden Boy Promotions to set up a match.
They had a face-off and almost came to blows during the Mayweather-Hatton weigh-in.
Hopkins said "I would never let a white boy beat me. Never." Not once but repeatedly.
The bout is set to take place in Las Vegas tonight. At the weigh-in Hopkins repeatedly prodded Calzaghe in the chest, saying "I'm going to bust your heart."
Many Welsh supporters of Calzaghe are already in town. Things are heating up.
