Aaliyah was right, age aint nothin’ but a number! Just ask 46-year-old WBC Light Heavyweight title holder Bernard Hopkins.
Hopkins became the oldest boxer to win a world title when he won in a unanimous decision over Jean Pascal in Montreal Saturday night.
The fight came after Hopkins lost in a draw last December to Pascal. “I’m closer to 50 than 40,” Hopkins said after the fight.
Hopkins replaces George Foreman, who was 45 years, 10 months old when he knocked out Michael Moore to win the WBA Heavyweight title in 1994, as the previous record holder.
After the break, more Hopkins vs. Pascal.
