Andre Ward Announces His Retirement From Boxing (CLIP)

Two-weight world champion Andre Ward - widely considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world - has retired from boxing at the age of 33. The former super middleweight and current light-heavyweight king, who is unbeaten in the ring since the age of 13, won all of his 32 contests as a professional as well as a gold medal at the 2004 Olympic games. The 33-year-old made the announcement on Thursday, claiming his desire to fight had disappeared because his "body can no longer put up with the rigours of the sport." Ward, who last fought in June against Sergey Kovalev, posted a video chronicling his journey from boyhood boxer to world champion with the caption: 'Mission Accomplished'.
