Title shot against Sergey Kovalev looming for Andre Ward (The Associated Press)

It’s seems a foregone conclusion that Andre Ward will get his long-anticipated shot at unified light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev later this year. About the only person not willing to talk about it is Ward, who has tried to insulate himself from the rumors while training for his upcoming fight with No. 1 contender Sullivan Barrera. The former Olympic gold medalist is emphatic when he says he can’t even begin to think about Kovalev – at least not until after Saturday’s fight with Barrera.
