Come on man? Dude will fight... question is, how good will his opponent be? And will he also give him 3 weeks notice like Brand?
He will tell us how many he can beat. How easy it would be for him to beat anyone. Then he probably won't fight.
He will fight, how many times he fights is up for debate. He was meant to fight twice then fight Kovalev in late 2016 but with Ward's history that seems improbable as the last time he fought in 3 times in one year was before the Super 6 in 2009. I suspect he'll fight twice next year, barring another injury. Either once and then Kovalev or twice and then Kovalev in 2017.
