Demetrius Hopkins (born October 10, 1980, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) is an American boxer, currently in the light welterweight division. He is the nephew of former undisputed middleweight champ and future boxing hall of famer Bernard Hopkins. He is the current USBA lightwelterweight champion after dispatching Mario Jose Ramos by a lopsided unanimous decision.

His fight on June 7, 2006 was a knockout win against Michael Warrick on ESPN 2. Hopkins won in dramatic fashion by connecting with a perfect right hand to the chin in the ninth round that knocked Warrick out cold and could be an early candidate for Knockout of the Year. His current record is 26-0-1.
