    Bernard Hopkins is going back to Canada for his rematch with light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal.

    Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, Hopkins' promoter, told ESPN.com on Tuesday night that the May 21 HBO fight will take place at the Bell Centre in Montreal. The fight had been agreed to last month.

    "Book your flight," Schaefer said. "We have agreed on terms, although I have not yet signed the contract. But Montreal is going to be the site. We are in the process of putting together the press tour."

    Schaefer said the fighters would meet the media March 28 in Montreal and be in New York on March 29.

    "We are excited to go to Montreal," Schaefer said. "It's a great city with a great fan base there, so it's going to be another huge event."
