BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins have agreed to a March 11 fight, representatives of both fighters told ESPN.com on Friday.

The fight would be a rematch of a 1993 bout, which Jones won by unanimous decision.

“I think it’s very exciting. Bernard is very happy about it and so is Roy. It’s fantastic,” said Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions, which promotes Hopkins. The 12-round light heavyweight fight is scheduled to be shown on HBO pay-per-view, though no site has been selected.

“We have a deal,” Jones’ adviser Brad Jacobs said. “I have Richard’s word that Hopkins is in. And Roy told me, Let’s go.’ “

Hopkins (46-4-1, 32 KOs), who turns 41 in January, made a middleweight-record 20 title defenses before losing by decision twice to Jermain Taylor.
