St. Lucia, November 13 – Andre WARD (13-0, 8
KOs) took some time away from his schedule earlier today to visit a school
of admiring children and spend time with them speaking of the pay off of
hard work and the goodness of values.
Andre’s team also participated in the meeting allowing the children to have
the opportunity to try out boxing techniques with Andre’s long time
experienced trainer, Virgil Hunter.
“It’s amazing that these kids are so well mannered. The have a humble school
with teachers who really care about the children. It was my privilege and
honor to be there and share a moment of their day with them” Acknowledged
Ward.
Hunter explained “When you have the desire to good at something, you can do
it. It doesn’t matter what age… These children are inspirational to me in
that I can tell that they are all champions. It doesn’t matter if they are
inside or out of the ring, they will do well in life as long as they listen
to their teachers and mind their parents.”
Ward will square off this Friday, November 16 against super middleweight
Roger CANTRELL (12-0, 8 KOs) in a bout televised by Showtime’s ShoBox: The
New Generation (SHOWTIME, 11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast).
