The ART OF WARD is back with another exclusive champ interview!
This week, Andre sits down with the one and only David Benavidez, the Mexican Monster, ahead of his highly anticipated mega-fight with David Morell.
In this candid conversation, Benavidez opens up about his intense preparation for what could be the biggest fight of his career, revealing how he plans to take on the rising Cuban star. He also explains why he never considered ducking the challenge.
The champ also takes us back to his roots, reflecting on his early boxing journey, the profound impact of his father, and the struggles he overcame in the early days of his career. It’s an inside look at what makes Benavidez the fighter and man he is today.
And, of course, no interview with the Mexican Monster would be complete without a bold callout to Canelo Alvarez. Will we finally see the long-awaited showdown between the two? Benavidez also shares his thoughts on retirement and what the future holds for him.

THE ART OF WARD is back with another boxing legend! This week, Andre Ward sits down with fellow hall-of-famer and ATS Fight teammate, Roy Jones Jr, for an expansive interview that looks back on his life and career.
From growing up in Pensacola to making his mark on the international stage with Team USA at the Olympics, Roy opens up about his journey into boxing and the milestones that shaped his legendary run.
Roy takes us through his most defining moments, including his unforgettable first world title win against Bernard Hopkins, and reflects on the key victories and defeats that contributed to his success. He also shares the challenges and triumphs that led to him becoming a world champion in four different weight classes.
As the conversation evolves, the two legends have an honest conversation about one of the most the difficult decisions every fighter faces: knowing when it’s time to retire.
