Andre Ward pulls out of scheduled Nov. 21 fight in Las Vegas (The Associated Press)
Two-time world champion Andre Ward pulled out of his scheduled Nov. 21 fight in Las Vegas on Wednesday because of inflammation and pain in his right knee. ”I’m extremely disappointed that I’m missing this opportunity on Nov. 21, but at the same time, I’m encouraged,” Ward said in a statement released by Roc Nation Sports. Ward was set to make his 175-pound debut on the Mandalay Bay card featuring the middleweight world title fight between Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez, though an opponent hadn’t been determined.
