Andre Ward: Anthony Joshua and Tony Bellew bouts possible

By Daily Sports on June 21, 2017

Andre Ward says "anything is possible" regarding a move up in weight which could see him meet WBA and IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Ward defended his WBO, WBA and IBF light-heavyweight titles against Sergey Kovalev in a rematch on Saturday.

His coach Virgil Hunter has talked up a move to cruiserweight or heavyweight and backed the American to beat Joshua.

"He's the heavyweight champion and the man but that's just my coach's belief," Ward, 33, told BBC Radio 5 live.

"Anything is possible. Virgil will speak his mind and I will back him up. That's no disrespect to Anthony Joshua.
"Cruiserweight and heavyweight is definitely an option,” says Ward

Tony Bellew and Anthony Joshua both hold world titles and Ward wants any move up in weight to allow him to contest a belt

Ward held world titles at super-middleweight before claiming all but one of the recognised belts at light-heavyweight and said he would meet WBC title holder Adonis Stevenson "if there is enough buzz and people want to see it".

He added that he did not want to fight at cruiserweight or heavyweight regularly, saying: "Ideally you want it to be for a title, to make history and move on."
