Career
Born in County Durham in 1994, and based in West Rainton, Ward had a junior amateur record of 60 wins from 64 fights, including winning a gold medal at the European under-17s championship in Ukraine, and was voted Best Junior Boxer by the ABA.[4][5]
He turned professional at the age of 17 without having any senior amateur fights,[4] and made his professional debut in July 2012 with a points win over Elemir Rafael.
By 2017 he had won 20 straight fights, including wins over former Ghanaian bantamweight champion Isaac Owusu, Nasibu Ramadhan, Everth Briceno, and Robbie Turley, leading to a British title shot.
Ward challenged for Jazza Dickens' British title at the First Direct Arena in Leeds in May 2017. An accidental clash of heads in the ninth round left Ward with a cut above his left eye that caused the fight to be stopped. Ahead on the scorecards at the time, Ward became British champion.[6] He made one successful defence of the title in November, beating Sean Davis by unanimous decision.[7][8]
