Andre Ward: If I Beat Sergey Kovalev, Then What?

[Newzz]

preemptive strategies for a duck

He said this in June 2014...before KKKovalev even fought Blake Caparello, Bernard Hopkins, Jean Pascal, and Nadjib Mohammedi


SINCE then, however, we've been negotiating over this fight to happen in 2016 per Kovalev's requests

There are rumblings that a fight, between WBA, IBF and WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev and WBA super middleweight ruler Andre Ward (28-0, 15KOs), is in the early stages of discussion for sometime in 2016.

Kathy Duva, the head of Main Events (which promotes Kovalev) confirmed to BoxingScene.com on early Friday evening - ''I've had another conversation this week with the people from Roc Nation and it is definitely something that is being discussed and ultimately likely to happen."

Kovalez (27-0-1, 24KOs) faces Nadjib Mohemmedi on July 25th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, while Ward recently returned to the ring on June 20th in Oakland, dispatching Paul Smith in nine rounds at a catch-weight of 172 pounds.

So when will this showdown take place?

"As far as Sergey is concerned, right now, we have a plan for him to fight in Russia this fall and then probably come back on HBO in February or March," Duva explained.

"If that can be the Ward fight and I'm not sure it can because I think he's talking about fighting in November or December. So we're probably looking at next spring."

We have been talking to Andre Ward's people all week,” Kathy Duva said. “And I think we all agree the fight is going to happen. It is just a matter of when. The talks have been very amicable. They are deciding who they want to fight next, and we have Sergey's schedule for his next few fights planned. By the end of next year, maybe a little sooner, you’re going to get to see that fight.

Discussions already under way for Kovalev-Ward - Dan Rafael Blog - ESPN

"But as far as Ward, a meeting with him is much more realistic. Our teams are negotiating. And maybe this fight will take place next spring," Kovalev said.

We were trying to fight him THIS year in November or December, as Kathy Duva admitted, but Duva/Kovalev was like let's wait until the Spring of 2016 and no later than the end of 2016
