The 25-year-old Ward, from West Rainton, England is the current NABA - USA Super Bantamweight Champion and IBF #14- and WBO #4-ranked contender. He has also already held the British and IBF European Super Bantamweight Championships as well. ?I?m very happy about this agreement,? said Ward. ?I believe I?m one of the best fighters out there and this will help me to prove it by fighting and beating the champions and top contenders.? Ward made his US debut last February at the Kansas Star Casino and live on ShoBox: The New Generation on SHOWTIME, scoring an eye-opening unanimous decision over respected contender Jesse Angel Hernandez (scores: 100-89, 99-90 and 98-90).
