Andre Ward, once considered the greatest fighter on the planet, is said to have called for an exhibition bout with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
The former two-weight world champion was initially the super-middleweight title holder, before moving up to light-heavyweight where he reigned before retiring unbeaten in 2017. And five years after hanging up his gloves, Ward says that he could be tempted back into the ring for a big-money exhibition with Paul.
Standing at an even six-foot, Ward could prove a similar size to the YouTuber, and would be far and away the best fighter he has ever been in the ring with, even in light spars. Paul trains with the likes of former world title challengers J'Leon Love and BJ Flores, and has even moved around with Jean Pascal, who is also a former light-heavyweight champion.
