A unification fight between WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev and IBF/WBA light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins is reportedly on for November as long as Kovalev wins his defense against Blake Caparello on Saturday night. Both sides have signed.

Fight will be televised by HBO. The IBF exerted pressure on Hopkins to reach a deal by 5 pm or face a purse bid for mandatory challenger.

Yeah mate, he will shout that he wanted the fight, but Kovalev wouldnt sign - sensible for Bhop to try and fuck any negotiation up with unreasonable demands, its the slimiest type of duck for me though!

hopkins only chance is if he stinks his way through the first half of the fight and if kovalev has poor stamina, which is yet to be determined.

I cannot possibly see Bhop having a hope here, the trouble is I have said that with a number of his last fights.....so I dont know if I would bet against him!!
