Stevenson will be 40 this year, I would think he/his managers will decide to "cash him out" some time soon, there is only so much money to be made fighting karpency and bika in quebec after all.. I dont know if ward pays enough for stevenson to take him on though, i would guess he is more likely to take on kovalev than ward.


As for ward I doubt he will make mandatory defences of his belts and look to poach belts from the higher weight classes from weak champions, I think ward is pretty close to being retired now and fair enough he has done great.
