By Mark Vester
Undefeated super middleweight prospect/Olympic gold medal winner Andre Ward (18-0, 12KOs) wants a shot at IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute or the winner of the April 25 clash between WBC champion Carl Froch and Jermain Taylor. Ward believes that he is ready to take on the big fights.
"I only want the big television fights, and where I can get 16,000 of my hometown fans in attendance. I'm very interested in taking on the winner of (Jermain) Taylor vs. (Carl) Froch," Ward said.
"[Bute] is the fight I would love to get. It would be a great match. The challenge would be a great one and it is exactly the direction I would like to go in my career. He’s the champion trying to keep his title and I am a young lion trying to take it."
