Forget about that fight for a moment. This is what his own promoter Goossen said afterward;

Ward needs someone “fresh and dangerous.”
Tyson threw out the possibility of a fight with Stevenson or Kovalev saying;

“They could fight at 170,” he said. “Ward goes up two, they come down five. Why not?”
Wards reply;

“I’m at a stage of my career that it’s – whatever,” he said at the post-fight press conference, adding that he’d love to take on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., in a pay-per-view fight.


Followed by;

“I’m working on my exit strategy right now,”
Seriously?
