WOW! The best pound 4 pound fighter in the sport Andre ‘S.O.G.’ Ward announces his retirement from Boxing today, September 21, 2017. Right when Ward is finally recognized as the #1 pound 4 pound fighter in the sport, he says he no longer has the passion for Boxing.
Boxing is the hurt business so you have to respect Ward’s decision. Ward will leave behind his WBA, WBO, and IBF light-heavyweight titles behind. Ward’s professional boxing record is a perfect one at 32 wins, 0 losses, and 16 wins coming by way of knockout.
For a fighter in Ward who is head and shoulders above the rest of the fighters in the world when he is fighting; why retire now? Well, if you don’t have the passion; you just don’t have the passion. Ward was definitely on his way to becoming a Pay-Per-View King.
It was the grueling preparation to be great that proved to be one of the main reasons why Ward is hanging up the boxing gloves. So, who’s number 1 on your pound for pound list now? Check out Potshot Boxing’s (PSB) latest boxing poll and vote.
