In July of 1993, we filmed Bernard Hopkins returning to Graterford Prison. At one-time, Hopkins was an inmate at Graterford and began his boxing career there. To stay grounded and never forget where he came from, Hopkins often returned to the prison and trained. This footage was 17 months before he challenged Roy Jones Jr. for the middleweight title (and lost) and 2.5 years before he actually won the title. #bernardhopkins #prison #graterford #bhop #philadelphia #philly #phillyfighter #boxing #rare #rarefootage
