Bernard Hopkins' Training Camp at Sheraton New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS, LA, June 2, 2006. Middleweight boxing great Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins has set up camp at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel for a five-week training session with New Orleans native and nationally-known fitness trainer Mackie Shilstone.
Hopkins has been training in New Orleans since May 3, 2006 for what will be a "fight to the finish" on Saturday, June 10, 2006 in Atlantic City against Antonio "The Magic Man" Tarver.
Not only has "The Executioner" been focused on his training while in New Orleans, but he has also set aside some time for the local community. He has thrown out the first pitch at a New Orleans Zephyrs Baseball game; plus on May 23, Hopkins invited local area school kids to watch him train in his new facility at the Sheraton New Orleans.
Hopkins states, "I selected New Orleans as a training camp to be able to support the community and people who are recovering from their losses," said Hopkins. "After what these kids have been through with Hurricane Katrina, I'm sure I can learn a few lessons about stamina and perseverance from them too."
