TONIGHT! 6:00PM AT THE WACHOVIA SPECTRUM

Future Boxing Hall of Famer and native Philadelphian BERNARD HOPKINS will host a special event for 30 lucky WYSP listeners as the classic rock station pays tribute to the boxing roots of the Wachovia Spectrum before the legendary venue shuts it doors forever with a screening of the iconic movie Rocky followed by an appearance by Hopkins. Hopkins will discuss the significance of fighting in the Spectrum, what the Spectrum means to boxing and his upcoming fight on December 2 against hard-hitting Enrique Ornelas at The Liacouras Center.

“Broad Street Brawl”: Hopkins vs. Ornelas, the 12-round light heavyweight bout, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions East and will be televised live on VERSUS beginning at 8 p.m. ET. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the first bell rings at 6 p.m. ET.

In addition to fighting for his fans, Hopkins will be fighting for charity as he has committed to donating one dollar from each ticket sold to three select charities. Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Philadelphia & Susquehanna Valley, The Hero Thrill Show, and the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.

Tickets, priced at $200, $100, $75, $50 and $25, are on sale now exclusively through ComcastTIX on line at ComcastTIX.com, by calling 1-800-298-4200 or in person at the Liacouras Center box office.
