Light heavyweight titleholder Bernard Hopkins will continue his storied career at age 48 by facing mandatory challenger Karo Murat of Germany this summer, Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com on Wednesday.

"History is marching on," Schaefer said. "Bernard is up for the challenge. Karo Murat is 29, young enough to be Bernard's son. He's a good fighter and he has been waiting for this kind of opportunity."

TBF I don't think Bhop can castigated over his teams selection of Murat, the man has produced the goods against the best in the division he deserves an easy defence, let's face it Clev has had an easy career :coffee

There is no defending Clevs career path thus far, the same most definitely cannot be said about Bhop even after this opponent selection!
