Andre Ward has branded Carl Froch's rematch with George Groves as a 'domestic fight' and believes the British duo have avoided him.
On the Froch-Groves undercard, James DeGale has been handed a tough test against Brandon Gonzales, a fighter that Ward knows well. Ward trains alongside Gonzales at Virgil Hunter's gym and is confident his stablemate can defeat DeGale in their IBF final eliminator. "Good fighter, I've been with Brandon probably seven, eight, nine camps and he's a tough kid, very skilful," he said. "We have a lot of similarities, we've got the same coach, train the same way. He's himself but we've got a lot of similarities and I think this is a make-or-break fight for both of these guys. "The winner moves on to bigger and better things, the loser goes to the back of the line, that's just how it works in the sport."
