BERNARD HOPKINS TO USE MC.EWAN FOR CALZAGHE

Here we go again...

Bernard Hopkins, recognized as the light heavyweight champion, has made quite an offer to young middleweight prospect Craig McEwan (9-0, 6KOs). If McEwan agrees to become Hopkins' sparring partner, he will land a guaranteed spot on the undercard to Hopkins's anticipated clash with super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, scheduled for April 19 in Las Vegas.

McEwan, a top amateur in his native Scotland and now living in Los Angeles, is ready to help Hopkins with anything he needs to beat Calzaghe. McEwan is trained by Freddie Roach, the frontrunner to train Hopkins for Calzaghe. He is also represented by Golden Boy Promotions, where Hopkins is a partner.

Speaking with The Scotsman , McEwan said he's eager to appear on the Hopkins-Calzaghe undercard.

"I'm firmly in the frame to go to Philadelphia to help Bernard Hopkins prepare for his clash with Joe Calzaghe," McEwan said. "I'm up for that as I've also been promised that if I do spar with Hopkins then I will get a guaranteed spot on the Hopkins vs. Calzaghe undercard. Anybody who is anybody in American boxing will be ringside for the fight and it will give me a chance to boost my credentials."
