Ward Jay ZWBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward discusses his new promotional pact with Roc Sports. It is expected that Ward will be back in the ring this spring after sitting out all of 2014 over a contractual dispute with Goossen Promotions.

Andre Ward: “I want to thank God for giving me the strength to get through these last two years. The fight that I’ve been involved in both professionally and personally has been one of the toughest seasons of my life, but I feel that it has only made me stronger as a person and a fighter.”

“After I met with the Roc Nation team, I was blown away by their passion and hunger and I left the meeting a believer. I also saw the kind of work that they’ve done for their other athletes and I believe that Roc Nation is going to be a major player in the sport of boxing sooner than people think. They not only have a vision for their athletes but also the power and resources to bring it to fruition.”

“I’m excited to focus completely on boxing knowing that I have the machine behind me to handle everything outside of the ring. At this stage in my career, that brings me piece of mind.”
