Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins is coming home to Philly.

And he's bringing his fists with him.

That's right, Hopkins is going to fight right here in FightTown USA on December 2 at the Liacouras Center.  His opponent will be Enrique Orlenas.

Could the fight, being billed as the "Broad Street Brawl" be his last?

You gotta wonder.

He has nothing to prove and is going into the Hall of Fame. He's managed his money well. He loves his family and wants to spend time with him.

The official press conference is next Weds, and I'll be there looking for answers, but my guess is this is it. He's going to fight one last time in the city where he, and his career were born and then hang up the gloves.

Either way, you're gonna want to be at this one. But if you can't, no worries. Pop open a bottle of Miller High Life, light up a Arturo Fuente Hemingway cigar, and sit on your couch because the fight will be aired live on Versus.
