Tickets are selling at a brisk pace for Bernard Hopkins' Philadelphia homecoming against Enrique Ornelas at The Liacouras Center at Temple University on Dec. 2.

The 12-round light heavyweight bout will be televised live on the Versus cable network beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET.

In the spirit of the holiday season, a portion of the proceeds from the fight will go to charitable causes. Hopkins has committed to donating three dollars ($3.00) from each ticket sold to charity, with one dollar ($1.00) going to each of the 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 and available for purchase exclusively through ComcastTIX on line at ComcastTIX.com, by calling 1-800-298-4200 or in person at the Liacouras Center box office.
