Tim Bradley Tips Andre Ward to Stun Anthony Joshua in Surprise Showdown Talk

Former world champion and Hall of Famer Tim Bradley has thrown his weight behind Andre Ward in a hypothetical clash against Anthony Joshua, insisting the retired American would come out on top.

Ward, 41, hasn’t fought since his emphatic win over Sergey Kovalev in June 2017, where he cemented his legacy as an undefeated two-weight world champion. Despite eight years of inactivity, Bradley believes Ward’s technical skills and ring IQ would be enough to beat Joshua.

Joshua, 35, is still seeking redemption after last September’s knockout loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley, a defeat that dashed his hopes of reclaiming the heavyweight crown for a third time.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Bradley said: “I think Andre Ward beats Anthony Joshua. Joshua would rather fight Jake Paul than fight Andre… If he can’t even knock out Jake Paul, then why chase that fight?”

While Joshua has been linked with crossover bouts including advanced talks to face Paul, those plans have cooled with Paul now set to meet Gervonta Davis. That leaves Joshua’s next move uncertain, with speculation swirling but no confirmed opponent.

For Bradley, though, there’s no doubt who would win if Joshua ever dared to share the ring with Ward: the man nicknamed “S.O.G.”
