Ward takes first step to stardom
Andre Ward
Light heavyweight prospect Andre Ward will make his professional debut on the undercard of Glen Johnson's 18 December showdown against Antonio Tarver.

The USA's only Olympic gold medallist is partly-promoted by Roy Jones Jr and will fight at the Staples Center in LA.

"It is a thrill to have the great Roy Jones as part of my promotional team - he's done it all," said Ward.

"I just want to carry the torch and put on a spectacular performance for the fans. I don't care who I fight."
