As a multiple-time world champion who’s among the most iconic figures in boxing history, Bernard Hopkins could have picked almost any city for his next fight. Las Vegas, New York or Los Angeles all would have made sense given their storied relationships with the sport, track records for strong ticket sales and fervent and knowledgeable fan bases.

The owner of the IBF light heavyweight belt instead decided to come to the nation’s capital to pursue yet another milestone in a career that has spanned four decades and seems destined to land him in the Hall of Fame.
