Andre Ward (born February 23, 1984) is an American professional boxer. He is a two-weight world champion, having held the unified WBA (Undisputed), IBF, and WBO light heavyweight titles since 2016. Ward previously held the unified WBA (Super), WBC, Ring magazine, and lineal super middleweight titles between 2009 and 2015.
As of November 2016, he is ranked as the second best boxer in the world, pound for pound, by The Ring magazine and the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board (TBRB). He is also ranked as the world's best light heavyweight by The Ring and BoxRec, and second by the TBRB. In 2011 he was named Fighter of the Year by The Ring and the Boxing Writers' Association of America (BWAA). Following a long period of sporadic in-ring activity between 2012 and 2015, Ward won the Ring's Comeback of the Year award in 2016.
As an amateur, Ward won a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 2004 Olympics and turned professional later that year. He rose to worldwide prominence upon entering the Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament in 2009, where he won the WBA (Super) super middleweight title from Mikkel Kessler in the opening group stage, and later unifying the title in 2011 by defeating WBC champion Carl Froch in the tournament final. Since 2014, Ward has also worked as a commentator and expert analyst on HBO.
