Ward v Bellew: Ward agrees to fight

Kind of an odd fight, isn't it? Bellew doesn't have a title in either division. It sounds like Ward is coming back and sees Bellew as a good tune-up opponent.

Bellew is not beating Ward.

Easy money for Ward in huge UK fight to put the final punctuation point on his career. Bellew knows he won't take too much physical punishment from the pants-removal Ward will subject him to. Everyone's a winner. I can see the fight happening to be honest.

Ward is retired but stays in fighting shape year round. I predict he travels to UK for Bellew. It'll be his biggest purse ever. And then he takes on the winner of WBSS. Ward "retired" in his prime and at the hottest phase of his career so I don't expect too much ring rust. He will be sharper. The break may have actually done him some good

Typical Ward thread: How many fighters retire and come back and retire and come back etc? But when Ward does it its somehow unbecoming... He is asking for a beating, or looking for low hanging fruit. Bellew has shown he is a good solid fighter and he has size on Ward, its a good fight, whats the problem? Bellew also seems to attract the hate. He is not going to be the favorite here! Most boxing people would predict Ward would beat him easily so how is he picking an easy opponent? Its just good matchmaking.

Ward would beat the doghst outa bellew. Fuk bellew

Heard the interview and he didn't agree to anything. He said he was doing creed 2 and shooting the contender series. The guy said something like for being retired you seem all in.. Ward replied he was. Btw if Ward actually agreed to the fight you could put money on Bellew ducking in typical British fashion.

Bellew will be for Ward at CW what Barrera was at LHW ... If he passes through he'll go for all the belts held by either Usyk or Gassiev and let them go again retiring ... Then he'll wait for the next opportunity to come back and screw the rankings once more... :)

yeah its not disrespectful to cheat nonstop in a fight: clinch, wrestle, hold and hit, tackle, and low blow your opponent nonstop. thats not dishonorable only quitting is? he couldn't keep up so he broke the rules in order not to get ko'd or to lose. he shat all over the sport of boxing and his clueless fanboys ignored it. Kovalev was supposed to be the tough guy. He said he’d break Ward. Now his fans are crying the bad man got roughed up smh lol

Bellew is total trash, who would want to see that? Ouch.

He will not get away with that sorta shiet if he fight Bellew in Britain, mind you Bellew is dog shiet so he might not even need to use those dirty cheating tactics that he usually does against top level fighters.

As long as this fight is in Britain I won't hold any grudge about it happening, this fight 100% should take place in Britain If it doesn't Ward is a diva.

Lol ward isn’t no quitter. That s just baseless disrespect. Ward is the type to get KO’d before dishonor. yeah its not disrespectful to cheat nonstop in a fight: clinch, wrestle, hold and hit, tackle, and low blow your opponent nonstop. thats not dishonorable only quitting is? he couldn't keep up so he broke the rules in order not to get ko'd or to lose. he shat all over the sport of boxing and his clueless fanboys ignored it.

ward traveling? :friday::friday::friday:

They will do it in cruiserweight I suppose. Ward gained weight and Bellew can cut 10 pounds.

Been wanting this fight since it first came into talks.

Americans last hope falls in front of the uk Stay retired ward, you will humiliate your country by being battered and will be forced to quit against the bomber You all are better talking not walking Lol ward isn’t no quitter. That s just baseless disrespect. Ward is the type to get KO’d before dishonor.

not overly surprised...kinda figured ward wasn't done, and this is exactly the type of fight he'd come back for, a beatable "heavyweight". the only odd thing is there's no belt to be had tho.
