Ward said in an interview he would like to win the LHW WBA title. Looking at the WBA rankings the current #1 contender is Felix Valera. Valera is 14-0 13 by KO, hasn't fought since August, and he barley squeaked by Stanislav Kashtanov a veteran fighter. Perfect opponent for Ward. That's my guess on who he will fight next. The ideal opponent for Ward would have been Isaac Chilemba, but he's fighting this month and I doubt he would be ready to fight Ward by January or February.
His recent fight against Stanislav Kashtanov https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg5WHVSPODU Basic stick and move fighter, likes to use the shoulder roll.
Yeah I just noticed that when watching him fight against Kashtanov. Still a good fight if he just wants to shake off ring-rust. His second fight would have to be against an orthodox though, someone like Fonfora.
I honestly just want Ward in tough. No more Paul Smiths or whoever the hell that Murdock guy was. These guys are sparring partners.
Where will he fight and on which platform..HBO are not going to give him 2 million to fight a tomoro and get 400k watching..he needs to fight someone that's gonna give HBO at least 900k views so ward is at a crossroads ATM..either plan out to the fans what he wants or do a double header with kov..
