Andre Ward boxing news
ESPN commentator Andre Ward says Saul Canelo Alvarez and his promoter Oscar De La Hoya would never take a risky fight against IBF/WBC light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs).
Retired great Andre Ward was over in the UK this past weekend, to work the Vasyl Lomachenko-Luke Campbell fight for ESPN, and both before het got into London and while he was there, Ward let it be known on social media that he was “looking for Carl Froch.”
Former super-middleweight king Carl Froch has now been retired for a little over five years (last boxing in May of 2014 when he iced grudge-match foe George Groves in their massive return fight).
Andre ‘SOG’ Ward says Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman has “a lot to prove” in his fight against Manny Pacquiao this summer on July 20 due to the perception out there from fans that he’s ducking Errol Spence Jr.
Just recently, with the comments Carl Froch came out with on the subject of the retirement decision made by his old adversary George Groves – Froch telling Sky Sports that “I won’t miss him and I am not sure British boxing will miss him” – it took some defensive action from Andre Ward to put “The Cobra” in his place.
Fans love a comeback, a successful one anyway. Over the years, some great fighters have shown that age is indeed just a number as they have returned to the ring and regained at least some of their former glory.
Raymond U. (San Diego, CA): Considering his stellar amateur career and what he has done so early as a pro, I feel Lomachenko is arguably the best smaller weight fighter ever.
The last male American boxer to capture an Olympic gold medal, Andre Ward, will be honored tomorrow night, when he is inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

The unbeaten 28 year old who won the recent World Boxing Super Series tournament with an impressive stoppage win over countryman George Groves is now aiming at becoming one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet.
It seems Tony Bellew has set his mind and his heart on landing what would be a most interesting and intriguing fight with former pound-for-pound king Andre Ward.
