LONDON, UK (February 6, 2008) –Light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins arrived in London today and took in some sites prior to his press conference with Joe Calzaghe tomorrow at London’s Planet Hollywood to make the official announcement for their April 19th light heavyweight title fight in the Planet Hollywood Ring in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hopkins was shadowed by a BBC film crew doing a feature story on the fighter’s life. “I have never been to London and stopped by Buckingham Palace in hopes of seeing the Queen herself,” said Hopkins. “Although she wasn’t home at the time, I did leave her a message letting her know the true ‘King of the Ring” was in town.
