When is Ward going to fight ?

I understand he has promotional Issues but surely he can not let this protracted affair drag out any longer. He seems eager to suggest everyone challenge him whilst not offering to fight anybody. Come on Andre sort it out. Does anybody know what his problem with Goosen actually is ? He secured home town or home country advantage in his Super six fights. He established himself as the man to beat in his weight class and some people rate him just behind FMJ in the world so what is his problem ?

He names Benn, Mcllelan, Hagler, Jones etc when comparing other boxers unwilling to fight him but then forgets just how active these guys were in comparison to himself. He can blame everybody else as much as he likes but he runs the risk of fast becoming irrelevant.

Kesseler in Denmark in November is whats being reported.

Kesseler in Denmark in November is whats being reported.

Really? What is that going to prove ? It's better than no fight but Kessler is not the guy he used to be and even that guy struggled against Ward. In fact the Kessler who fought Calzaghe would not have beaten Ward. Bloody Hell Andre

It's not happening. He's semi-retired until his situation with Dan Goosen is worked out and so far he's lost in court from what I understand.

Wow. So good talent like that is going to just sit around? Reminds me of when Mayweather retired for a bit.

Why don't these promoters just don't let their talent go if that's the case. These iron clad contracts on fighters seems criminal and against the laws of decency.

Seems like slavery!

Maybe a little time up fight after his layoff. I don't see Kesdler as a total waste of time. It will be nice to see Andre back in action.

Ward should just fight and keep busy as he is wasting his career away.

I like Ward as a person and he always comes across well but for me he's the architect of his own undoing. He can say all he wants about wanting to do right by his mate but the guy has made multiple attempts to get out of his contract with Goosen and for multiple reasons.

Apparently anything past or ongoing with Goosen shouldnt prevent Ward from fighting right now but realistically it is, of course it is.

Ward could get out of his contract with Goosen tomorrow. The same people willing or unwilling to fight him are going to be equally willing or unwilling to fight him. With Goosen, without, people will be equally as interested (or not) in watching him fight. He won't become a 20 million dollar purse guy by not being with Goosen.

If you do not like your boss, get over it and carry on working. We all have to and when you get the opportunity move job.
