The fact that this article does not name an opponent for Wards return to the ring tells us everything we need to know for now about Ward.koolkc107 wrote:"After weeks of speculation, Andre Ward (28-0, 15 KOs) has agreed to a multi-fight deal with HBO and will return to the ring Nov. 21 in the co-featured bout on the undercard of the highly anticipated Miguel Cotto-Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fight at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
The recently inked deal was announced by Ward’s promoter, Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports, and will find the super middleweight champion making his debut as a light heavyweight and set in motion a potential high-profile showdown with 175-pound champion Sergey Kovalev next fall."
Looks like Ward is doing exactly what some of his critics have wanted him to do- go after a showdown with Kovalev.
If this goes true to form, it may determine who is P4P #1 next fall.
