On Thursday, the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame will welcome Hopkins among its 2023 enshrinees.
Bernard Hopkins, now 58, at a Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation charity boxing event in Beverly Hills, Calif., in May 2022.
At 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Event Center at Live! Casino, Hopkins will enter a new realm outside of the boxing world as part of the 2023 Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame class.
“That’s true, I’ll admit that,” Hopkins said. “What helped me was I knew what I could do and I knew what I couldn’t do, and I stayed within those boundaries. It is true. I was not blessed with the ability of someone like Roy Jones, but I beat him , and I beat Oscar De La Hoya, who I wasn’t supposed to beat, and I beat Trinidad, who I wasn’t supposed to beat. I beat them all. I had to overcome so many things, nothing was going to discourage me.
