Oscar De La Hoya Says Hopkins' Next Fight Is His Last
Oscar De La Hoya Hopkins' Next Fight Is 100% His Last ... I'm Making Him Promise
52-year-old Bernard Hopkins is jumping back into the ring one last time ... and it's really ONE LAST according to his boss, Oscar De La Hoya ... who says he's making BH promise to hang 'em up FOREVER.
Oscar joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show and announced Hopkins' final fight to the world ... a brawl with 27-year-old knockout artist Joe Smith Jr. set to go down on December 17th.
Question is ... is it REALLY over? Hopkins has been known to beat the hell out of guys half his age ... take some time off ... then beat the hell out of guys half his age again.
De La Hoya says this it it ... telling the crew "I'm having him sign some kind of proclamation saying it's his last fight, at 52 years old, this should be the last fight for him."
Check out the clip ... and watch "TMZ Sports" weeknights on FS1.
