May 16, 2011 - Press Release

Jean Pascal will be at the Videotron flagship store Tuesday to meet his fans

Montreal, May 16, 2011 – Indigo will broadcast the eagerly anticipated Dynasty II: Pascal vs Hopkins fight live from Montreal on Saturday, May 21. After a controversial draw in Quebec City on December 18, 2011, world light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal (26-1-1, 16 KOs) will face living legend Bernard Hopkins (51-5-2, 32 KOs) again in his fifth title defence.

Laval boxer Jean Pascal, who has built up a strong following in Quebec with his unique style, powerful jab and defiant spirit, will be defending his belt against an amazing 46-year-old phenomenon and likely shoo-in for the Boxing Hall of Fame. Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins has sworn not to let this chance to rewrite boxing history slip through his fingers.

Jean Pascal will be at the Videotron flagship store at 1192 Sainte-Catherine St. West in Montreal from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. on May 17 to meet his fans and sign autographs. All Jean Pascal fans are invited to come and show their support.

In addition to the historic Pascal-Hopkins match-up, there are six other fights on the card, including a bout between Chad Dawson of the U.S. and Quebecer Adrian Diaconu. The action starts at 7:00 p.m. on May 21.
