“I want this fight in the worst way, and am very excited about it. I have been having reoccurring problems with my right knee. I went to camp and tried for a week and half to two weeks, and I can’t run like I’m supposed to. I want Allan Green to get an Andre Ward that’s 100% just like I want an Allan Green that is 100%.
The issue is that I came out of the blocks too fast in training camp with my running. I was supposed to gradually build up and I went beyond what my trainer, Virgil Hunter, wanted me to do. I believe that’s where all of the problems started. This has been a good lesson for me to listen to my coach in the future because he always warns me not to come out of the blocks of training camp too fast but because I’m so motivated about this fight; I came out too fast, too early.
My physician, Dr. Warren King, who is also the orthopedic surgeon for the Oakland Raiders, is recommending 4-6 weeks of rehab and rest. Dr. King doesn’t see anything that should hinder me beyond this point or in future fights. I look forward to getting back in the ring at 100% and defending my WBA title in the SHOWTIME Super Six World Boxing Classic. I apologize to Ken Hershman, SHOWTIME and all of the participants in the Super Six for any inconvenience this may cause.” [Click Here To Read More]
