Trinidad easily won his last fight on May 11 in Puerto Rico against Hacine Cherifi of France. After the Cherifi fight, Trinidad was seeking a rematch with Hopkins and Oscar de la Hoya, who he defeated in 1999, but both of them rejected his offers. Recently, the undisputed middleweight champion, Hopkins voiced his interest in a rematch with Tito sometime in November or December.
