Hopkins and Wink to fight at 170?

Last night sources close to the situation first informed Boxingtalk.com that light heavyweight king Bernard Hopkins and Winky Wright could be mixing it up at a catch weight of 170 on HBO PPV on July 21. Moments ago Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer told BT that all terms have been agreed to and contracts are currently being drafted. Boxingtalk.com also contacted Bernard Hopkins who didn't want to address any Roy Jones Jr questions, but stated, "I know we put our offer out there to Winky, but I'm first hearing he's accepted. This is a fight that the boxing fans have wanted to see if everyting gets signed we'll be able to give it to them." More to follow including full one on one interviews with Hopkins and Wright.
