LAS VEGAS -- Andre Ward had just been awarded a unanimous decision victory against Sergey Kovalev to claim his three light heavyweight world title belts on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena when the topic turned to Wards ring future.At the end of his post-fight news conference Ward was asked if he would ever consider moving up to the heavyweight division, where it is rare for a light heavyweight to find success. All-time greats such as Roy Jones Jr., Michael Spinks and Bob Fitzsimmons won world titles in both weight classes, but they are the exception. Other greats such as Archie Moore and Bob Foster failed when they moved up.Boxings marquee division does interest Ward (31-0, 15 KOs), whose win over Kovalev (30-1-1, 26 KOs) was tinged in controversy because Ward, who got knocked down in the second round, was given winning scores of 114-113 on all three judges scorecards even though the majority of media had Kovalev winning a close fight.Ward, however, said any move up to heavyweight would have to be the right situation. He ruled out facing giants of the division such as world titleholders Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua, enormous men who would have huge height and weight advantages.Theres certain guys you dont mess with and those guys are too big, Ward said. I respect them, but you got to find the right opponent and the right situation. So maybe one day, maybe not, but not those two.Ward said if he made the move, he would instead look to follow in the footsteps of Jones, who was the undisputed light heavyweight world champion when he moved up to heavyweight for a shot at John Ruiz, a solid but unspectacular heavyweight who had a world title belt.Jones, who built himself into a rock-solid 193-pound fighter under the guidance of famed strength and conditioning coach Mackie Shilstone -- who also worked with Ward to prepare him for Kovalev -- easily outboxed the much slower and stationary 226-pound Ruiz to take his heavyweight belt in 2003 before returning to light heavyweight.Listen, Ive talked about this a lot and I know it sounds crazy. I know it does, Ward said. But I feel like I have a Roy Jones-type of situation in me before my career is over. And I have a great guy to do it with, Mackie Shilstone, but its got to be the right guy. Im not going to let my ego get in the way.Wards future is at light heavyweight for the time being, however. Kovalev exercised his right to an immediate rematch with Ward, so that will apparently be his next fight in the first half of 2017.HBO, which carried Kovalev-Ward on pay-per-view, will air a replay of the fight Saturday (10:35 p.m. ET/PT) along with live coverage of junior lightweight titleholder Vasyl Lomachenko (6-1, 4 KOs) making his first defense against fellow former featherweight titlist Nicholas Axe Man Walters (26-0-1, 21 KOs) at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far.Castleford coach Daryl Powell is calling for a positive response from his players as they look to avoid a fourth successive defeat when they kick off the Easter programme against Leeds on Thursday night. The Tigers suffered a humiliating 56-12 defeat to Warrington on Friday after which Powell apologised to fans.But hes hoping the intense rivalry of a derby with the reigning Super League champions will help stop the rot. Weve got a lot to do after last week to get some pride back, Powell said. Weve had a pretty honest week and Im confident after watching the players train today.Its a local derby, were at home and the place is going to be packed. Its a key game for us. Its against the team that all Castleford fans want us to beat more than any other.Castlefords stand-in captain Luke Gale knows about the rivalry with his home-town club as much as anyone.It would be good to bounce back against your local rivals, said Gale, a product of the Headingley academy who played for Doncaster, London Broncos and Bradford before joining the Tigers at the start of last season.Its not been a happy place this week but its a real good chance to bounce back. Highlights of Castlefords crushing defeat to Warrington I played for Leeds, I grew up in Leeds and Im a Leeds lad. I just think everyone gets up for a Leeds game and weve done well in the past against them.Im good friends with Danny McGuire and it would be good to get one over on him. I think hell be back to give them some guidance.McGuire, who was a late withdrawal from last Fridays win over St Helens, is finally expected to return from a knee injury sustained in the Rhinos opening game of the season, while Gale could have his half-back partner Ben Roberts alongside him after missing the last two games with a foot injury.It would be massive if we got him back, Gale said. If any team loses a half-back, they struggle. We were just getting a good combination going. He started the season off really well. Leeds Rhinos Danny McGuire will make a welcome return from injury Already without Michael Shenton, Oliver Holmes, Junior Moors and Luke Dorn, Castleford have lost Frankie Mariano and Matt Cook for this game but Powell is not looking for excuses.Were a little bit low on personnel but Leeds have been too and they found it tough, although theyve named a pretty strong squad for this one, Powell said. Castlefords Nathan Massey (left) has stepped into the 13 position for the last two games Weve still got a very good squad that will take the field.dddddddddddd Obviously we need to respond from what we did last week, that goes without saying. Its crucial for us.Leeds look sure to be without winger Ryan Hall but should have fellow England international Tom Briscoe back from a six-week injury lay-off to help plug the gap.Im really exited to get back out there and do what I can to help the team, said Briscoe, who sustained a leg injury in the second round at Widnes.
