Just six months after retiring from the ring, Bernard Hopkins has decided he is not ready to hang up his gloves after all.
Instead, the long-time middle-weight champion wants to win the heavyweight title, and has targeted World Boxing Council champion Oleg Maskaev of Kazakhstan.
Hopkins retired after beating Antonio Tarver in a light heavyweight bout in June.
