No, a few years ago he said he wanted to eventually move up and fight a Klitschko, in the literal sense.

... Does it mean that he would want to take a Klitschko tune-up before fighting Kovalev?

No. But you'd think he'd want to fight light heavyweight, rather than an old super middleweight journeyman.

Ward needs to focus on Brand and letting the straight right hand go. He will need that punch against Kovalev. Unless he decides to hold it back until November.

Chilemba's jab was on target for the first half of the fight. It was like Kov couldn't do anything about it. I still see Kovalev vs. Ward as a 50/50 fight. Ward can box better, but Kov still has that powerful left hook to the body followed by the straight right hand!

I guess he was too busy praying...
