Welcome to The Show! On Friday, legendary light heavyweight boxer Bernard Hopkins will stop by to chat about his upcoming July fight with Winky Wright and the upcoming historic Mayweather-De La Hoya fight!

''Everyone is talking. On May 5, the whole world will be watching - De La Hoya vs. Mayweather: The World Awaits.'' Mayweather will face De La Hoya on May 5 in what everyone is already calling one of the greatest fights of all time. The fight can be seen live on HBO Pay-Per-View. The MGM Grand in Las Vegas will host the fight which begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

De La Hoya's WBC Junior Middleweight title is on the line as the two former U.S. Olympians enter the ring. De La Hoya is a six-division world champion, while Mayweather is unbeaten en route to four division champships.

Hopkins is a part of De La Hoya's fighter promotion company Golden Boy Promotions, which manages both De La Hoya and Hopkins. Hopkins retired in 2005, following his second straight loss to Jermain Taylor. However, he ended his brief retirement barely six months later when he fought Antonio Tarver and earned a 12-round decision. The next opponent on his list is Winky Wright in July. Hopkins will enter that fight with a 47-4-1 record, with 32 KOs.
