(Reuters) - Boxing great Bernard Hopkins, who defended the middleweight title a record 20 times from 1995 to 2005 and has never been knocked out, intends to "overdo" himself when he ends a career of extraordinary longevity on Saturday.
The 51-year-old former champion will return to the ring for the first time since November 2014 for his final fight when he takes on fellow American Joe Smith Jr., the second-ranked World Boxing Council contender, at the iconic Forum in Los Angeles.
