Andre Ward is eyeing to return to the ring, but only to Anthony Joshua and with a certain pressure condition in place

Andre Ward says that a pressure condition would be in place if he came out of his retirement to fight Anthony Joshua. The 41-year-old ward (32-0, 16 kos) states that fighting against former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua is “dangerous enough” to make him want to prepare.

Ward does not say why he targets Joshua (28-4, 25 ko), given that he is coming off a fifth round hit. Would make more sense to a ward to try to bustle his way into a fight against one of the top 15 competitors rather than just focusing on Joshua.

Hearn’s quick rejection

The bad news for a ward is that AJ Champion, Hearn, have already rejected the idea from this fighting happens. Hearn mentioned that the fighting would be short of a commercial appeal. Ward has retired for too long, after hanging his gloves in 2017. Even when a ward was still fighting, it was not popular. You can only imagine how bad the PPV numbers would be for fighting between Joshua and Ward.

Hearn says that the two fighters who want Joshua are Tyson Fury and Jake Paul. Those are fighting that will bring in huge money. Those are big names that can still bring in many PPV purchases.

“I was just honest about who I’d come back against them if I came back,” Andre Ward told the Ariel Helwani Youtube Channel for his call out of Anthony Joshua. “People think I can do 175 in length. That’s out. It wasn’t easy to make 175 in 2017. I’m 41 now.”

It doesn’t matter whether a ward can do 175. That’s not what Hearn is looking for. If a ward is looking to find someone dangerous who will motivate him enough to go in the gym, he should fight Moses Itama or Hrgovic Filip.

“That’s the kind of a situation that is dangerous enough to make you prepare,”Ward said of Joshua.” But this is the right position if I came back. When you get older, your reflexes wander a bit, and of course I think I still have a lot left in the tank. But I don’t know. “

If a ward has no ambition to reach the gym unless Joshua is an opponent, what does that say about it? Where is the willingness to work and the ambition? That sounds like a ward has a combination of apathy and burning. There are plenty of other fighters that a ward could fight apart from Joshua. He just wanted to fight aj suggestions that he is looking for a big pay day only.

The unlikely pressure condition

“If you’re going to deal with something older, you want to deal with more power and the size of an opponent and not a skill, speed and speed,” said Ward. “That’s much different to deal with it than dealing with power. That’s how I’m looking at it. So we’ll see. Of course,” said Ward when asked if there would be pressure conditions for fighting with Joshua.

There is no chance that a ward would be able to discuss a pressure condition with the much more popular Joshua. This is not 2017 with a ward fighting against Sergey Kovalev. Joshua is out of his alliance in popularity. In my opinion, a ward has no hope of having a condition of pressure in place for fighting AJ.

“For me, I don’t think fighting (ward) is as big as some people think, mostly from the Andre team. I know Joshua would fight, but I think when he spit the numbers out, he won’t absolutely not what they seem.
