    Date is fast approaching, looking forward to seeing Ward back in action but still no opponent confirmed. Apparently an offers been made to Oozthuizen, not the best but who else is available? Happy to see Ward take a tune up then face the winner of Froch-Groves/Cleverly-Kovalev in the new year

    RumourS are it will be Tommy gun Oosthuizen. Good fight. Hope it happens.

    Wards lack of actvity is a major disappointment.

    Split site event then? I thought HBO was highly disappointed in
    Tommy's performance and wouldn't want him, since he miffed
    up his showcase.

    Good tune up but Oosthuizen looked terrible in his last fight, don't think his handlers are gonna want the fight. Reckon Wards gonna struggle to find an opponent in time

    I think negotiations have dragged on for so long because Ward was looking for a tune-up fight with big-fight money. Nice combination if you can get it but HBO weren't keen. Now they're scrambling a little bit to agree an acceptable opponent/date.

    Oosthuizen would be easy work. Probably gets stopped. Looked like a poor man's Andy Lee in his last fight it was so bad.

    Better yet who cares? Ward is not interested in tough fights.

    I'm getting bored with Ward at this point. He's proven himself at 168. Time for him to move up in weight and try and unify at 175 if he really is going to cement himself as a HOF fighter....people want to compare him to RJJ, but Roy won titles at 160, 168, 175 and Heavyweight.

    Cloud vs Stevenson locked in, Ward's opponenet still listed as TBA. Fury and Haye same night, that is one hell of a Saturday.

    DeGale would give a decent showing imo, even in defeat he could raise his stock
