The AP reports that undefeated super middleweight prospect Andre Ward (15-0, 10 KOs) is going to fight fellow Olympian Jerson Ravelo (18-2, 12 KOs) at the Cayman Islands on June 13.
In his last outing, Ward stepped up the competition with a seven-round stoppage of Rubin Williams in February. Dan Goossen, Ward's promoter, sees Ravelo as the next step for the young fighter's budding career.
“It’s the next step forward in Andre’s career,” Goossen said. “Ravelo is a fighter who’s still on the upswing in his own career, so it’s another good matchup at this point for Andre.”
