沃德；我真的想退休了（战科瓦列夫后），并不是像人们所说的那样是为了要更多的钱。我和很多人都谈过，包括我的妻子，最终感觉自己还是有比赛的欲望，就回来了。
“We had a conversation about [retirement] and it was for several reasons,” Ward said. “I know it’s being painted as just wanting more money. But that wasn’t it. We talked and I said, ‘Man, what do you guys think? I’ve done what I wanted to do. I’m not concerned with trying to prove anything, because you’re never gonna win that battle.’ And again, talking to [James] Prince, talking to [Josh] Dubin, and collectively talking to Roc Nation and putting our heads together, we said, ‘Let’s do it again.’ ” During those talks, Ward realized he still has the desire required to train and fight at the elite level. “I try to be a person that listens to what my teams says,” Ward said. “They’re on my team for a reason. And I try to digest everything. Then I go home to my wife and say, ‘What do you think?’ We pray about it. I talk to my other advisers, like my pastor and different people like that I have in my life. And then, ultimately, the buck stops with me. I’ve gotta make the decision. So [I’ve] still got the fire, still got the desire. “And yeah, you know, him talking a little bit had something to do with it, but not everything. Because I’ve dealt with that my whole career. I’ve dealt with it my whole career. I’ve fought a million Kovalevs – from the amateurs, all the way up. And I’ve yet to find one that gave us our credit or our just due. You can go all the way down to Kessler, Froch, you name it.” |
