Joshua vs Ward in April???

[Eff Pandas]

�� Regarding Anthony Joshua's next fight on April 13th, Eddie Hearn hinted at a potential shock "wildcard" opponent who has now entered the picture - not Deontay Wilder or Dillian Whyte. He teased that there is "lots going on" with AJ's return at the moment. [@IFLTV]

�� Might be crazy, but the first name that sprung into my mind for this supposed Anthony Joshua April 13th "wildcard" opponent is one none of you have suggested yet: Andre Ward.

I can't imagine who else this "wildcard" opponent would be besides Klitschko II with Wladimir coming out of retirement.

Anyway does Ward stand a chance in hell of beating Joshua?

I personally like Usyk's chances to beat Joshua if Usyk can handle the HW punch/power, but I think Ward is a lil too small & I don't think his speed is all that impressive to deal with a big ass HW for 12 rounds.

Lmao no Ward can’t beat him. Size difference is too much. He’d have to hit him with some leaping gazelle headbutts

This is just Eddie being Eddie. I’m sure his wildcard is Chisora.

Klitschko rematch maybe?

Joshua nuts should be about the right height for a Ward straight right.

Ward spent 4 years partially retired, only fighting no name bums, between the time he dragged Dawson down to 168 and the first Kovalev fight.

You realize Ward even taking the Kovalev fight was an abnormality for him right? And most think he lost the first fight, he won the second by a 5 punch combination directly to the balls.

Now you guys think he is coming out of retirement, moving from 175 to heavyweight to fight a 245 lb guy who knocked out wladimir?


You guys out your damn mind

How about if Fury beats Wilder, vacates WBC rather than have the rematch and fights AJ in April. Dillian v Braezeale for the WBC?

The nut shots would be a big problem for AJ doe.

AJ would take his head off in the first round. Ward will never ever fight AJ.

yeah...because that's something that would happen.


Also, how does that suddenly make him a top contender for one of AJ's belts?

The nut shots would be a big problem for AJ doe.

Usyk got that footwork to take each nutshot off the hip like it's nothing, then counter with some messed up hook from an angle that doesn't even exist. AJ would be taking those nut shots FLUSH

This would be a suicide mission for Ward.
