In boxing, the news conferences can sometimes be just as entertaining as the actual fight.
On Monday, former world boxing champion Bernard Hopkins engaged in a shoving match with light heavyweight titleholder Jean Pascal at the news conference in Montreal.
After being called a “scared punk,” Pascal, 28, questioned Hopkins’ alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs, repeatedly asking the 46-year-old to take a blood test.
The scuffle isn’t the first time the two have had a scuffle at a news conference. On Dec. 15, 2010, Hopkins and Pascal exchanged words and had to be separated before a fight broke out. Pascal and Hopkins fought to a draw in their first fight on Dec. 19.
The two are set to fight on May 21 in Montreal.
