Andre Ward has a return to the ring but only for Anthony Joshua and with a specific weight stipulation in place

Andre Ward says there would be a weight stipulation if he left his retirement to fight Anthony Joshua. The 41-year-old room (32-0, 16 kos) claims that a fight against the former heavyweight two-time champion Joshua is “dangerous enough” to make him want to prepare.

Ward does not say why he is aimed at Joshua (28-4, 25 ko), as he reached a loss of fifth round. Would make more sense for Ward To try to take advantage of his way In a fight against one of the 15 best contestants instead of focusing only on Joshua.

The quick rejection of Hearn

The bad news for Ward is that the AJ promoter, Hearn, has already dismissed the idea From this struggle happens. Hearn mentioned that the struggle would not have a commercial attraction. Ward was retired too long, after hanging gloves in 2017. Even when Ward was still fighting, he was not popular. You can only imagine the poor man who would be the PPV numbers to fight between Joshua and Ward.

Hearn says that the two fighters he wants for Joshua are Tyson Fury and Jake Paul. These are fights that will bring huge money. They are big names that are still able to involve many PPV purchases.

“I was only honest with whom I would see again if he returned,” Andre Ward told Ariel Helwani YouTube Channel on his call to Anthony Joshua. “People think I can still do 175. This is out. It was not easy to do 175 in 2017. Now I am 41 years old.”

No matter if Ward can’t do 175. It’s not what Hearn is looking for. If Ward wants to find someone dangerous to motivate him enough to enter the gym, he should fight against Moses Itauma or Filip Hrgovic.

“This is the type of situation dangerous enough to make you prepare,Said Ward about Joshua. “But it is the correct situation if it returned. When you grow old, the reflexes are a little reduced and, of course, I think I still have a lot in the deposit. But I don’t know.”

If Ward does not have the ambition to enter the gym unless Joshua is his opponent, what does this say? Where is the will to work and ambition? It seems that Ward has a combination of apathy and burns. There are a lot of other fighters that Ward could fight besides Joshua. For him he only wants a fight against Aj suggests that he only looks for a great payment day.

The unlikely weight stipulation

“If you want to treat something at a greater age, you want to deal with more power and the size of an opponent and not skill, speed and speed,” said Ward. “This is very different to deal with power with power. I look at it. So we will see it. Of course,” Ward said when he asked if there would be weight stipulations to fight with Joshua.

There is no chance that Ward can negotiate a weight stipulation with the much most popular Joshua. This is not 2017 with Ward Fighing Sergey Kovalev. Joshua is out of his league in terms of popularity. In my opinion, Ward has no chance of obtaining a weight stipulation to fight AJ.

“For me, I don’t think the struggle (Ward) is as big as they think there, mainly from Andre’s team. I know that Joshua would make the fight, but I think when he spit the numbers, they will not be what they look like. And obviously, when we are talking about a jake paul struggle (he is much older), he said the promoter of the story room, Eddie Hearn, Australian, Australian, Joshua.
