With reports surfacing last weekend that his team had commenced talks to fight Kelly Pavlik in an HBO-televised showdown on Feb. 23, super middleweight king Andre Ward and his promoter Dan Goossen clarified their current position.
“There is some merit to the rumors out there,” Ward (26-0, 14 KOs) said on Twitter Monday afternoon. “But, just a name so far. [In my opinion] far from done until contracts are signed!! I've yet to see one.”
