In the past recent weeks, Bernard Hopkins had made it pretty much clear that he is willing to come out of retirement and step up to the Heavyweight division to face the World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev.
According to a published report by Jim Jenkins in Sacremento Bee, the promoter representing Maskaev's, Dennis Rappaport, said Hopkins' interest is more than idle talk. Rappaport also said, Golden Boy Promotions' representatives
have contacted him about the possibility of Hopkins turning heavyweight to take on Maskaev.
Don Chargin, an adviser to Golden Boy said: "Bernard might be (Maskaev's) most attractive opponent."
The report in the Sacremento Bee further stated that Maskaev said he's willing to fight Hopkins after his next challenge. Maskaev is set to defend his title in Moscow against No. 10 contender Peter Okhello of Uganda on December 9th.
