Sergey Kovalev (30-1, 26 KOs) has challenged Andre Ward (31-0, 15KOs) to prove his championship worth by going forward with their contracted rematch. Last month, Ward recovered from a second round knockdown to win a close and controversial twelve round unanimous decision over Kovalev to capture the WBA, IBF, WBO light heavyweight world titles at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

I thought Ward won but he does need to do a rematch it was very close... only a Stevenson unification should be the he only other option.

April or June!? Man that sucks, looks like both fighters may only be fighting twice next year.

Lol forget it Krusher, coWard will never try to avenge the defeat. Real Boxing fans know you won. Just go get that turd Stevenson and you will be the indisputed undefeated Champion of the World!

True but June? June is bull****. It should be in March or April. April is already 5 months between fights. Isn't that plenty?

April or June because Canelo has a PPV in May. Probably Ward not willing go in March and that would be too soon. They need more time to better promote the rematch. The first fight had poor promotion.

Now he's begging.
He went full Khan!!

Rematch has to happen, regardless of who you thought won. If it doesn't happen you have to place the blame with Ward because of his utterings but I'll wait for negotiations to start. I'm okay with it happening in June, I just want it to be the next fight for both guys.

Agreed, I wonder how much HBO will be able to contribute this time. Sure they're allocating a large portion of their budget toward the GGG and Canelo PPV's....

Didn't think it was bad. These guys are just not known.

Unless you mean, why didn't they show up on sht like Conan. Because they are not known. There was plenty of promotions, like 3 or 4 story features one from Yahoo, two or three from HBO, Kovalev was on Los Golpes, the build up was followed by the mexican ESPN. I mean, if you can't even get the mexicans involved.

I thought the promotion did a decent job, but I did notice Ward did no promotion and his features were boring and he was over-dramatic of his childhood trauma. Not sure how much more they can reel in by exposing Ward's boring ass.
