Stephen Fulton and Andre Ward Talk Boxing, Legacy, and Life
Andre Ward: Hey Stephen, it’s great to sit down and have a chat, man. How’s everything going?
Stephen Fulton: What’s up, Andre! Things are good, you know? Busy with training and keeping my focus. How about you?
Andre Ward: Can’t complain. Staying involved with the sport, commentating, mentoring some young fighters. Speaking of which, you’ve had quite the journey in the ring. When you look back, what stands out the most?
Stephen Fulton: Man, it’s gotta be the discipline and the grind. Every fight, every training session is a chapter in my story. But the fans and the support—every little message or cheer feels incredible. How did you manage balancing all that when you were in the game?
Andre Ward: It’s about commitment and sometimes making sacrifices. Family, leisure, all of that takes a back seat when you’re chasing greatness. But it pays off when you see the results in the ring and feel the love from the fans. Speaking of which, your style is so versatile. You move like a featherweight, but hit like a tank. How did you develop that?
Stephen Fulton: Ha! Thanks, man. I always believed in being a well-rounded fighter. You gotta be able to adapt, right? Training with different styles and constantly refining my technique. Which reminds me, did you have a particular fight that was a turning point for you?
Andre Ward: Definitely, the first fight against Sergey Kovalev. That was a test of everything—skill, heart, tactics. Coming back from that early knockdown to win the fight was pivotal. It wasn’t just about skill; it was about who wanted it more. Speaking of wanting it, you’ve got some big matches coming up, right?
Stephen Fulton: For sure. Every fight is a step closer to solidifying my legacy. Got my eyes on unifying titles and making history. It’s about seizing every moment, just like you did. Any advice for staying mentally sharp in high-pressure situations?
Andre Ward: Stay grounded, stay focused, and remember why you started. Meditation and visualization techniques helped me a lot. You visualize the victory, the belt around your waist, and you chase that vision every day. And stay humble, because the fall can be swift if you let it get to your head. What keeps you centered?
Stephen Fulton: My family and my roots. Remembering where I came from and the people who’ve supported me from day one. Plus, I’m always hungry to learn and improve—keeps me from ever getting complacent. That, and seeing legends like you who’ve walked the path and done it all, that’s motivation right there.
Andre Ward: You’ve got the right mindset, Stephen. Keep grinding, stay hungry, and your legacy will be unstoppable. Can’t wait to see you continue to rise and redefine the sport.
Stephen Fulton: Appreciate that, Andre. It’s been awesome chatting with you. Your words mean a lot to me, and I’m going to keep pushing forward, no doubt.
Andre Ward: Anytime, champ. Stay focused and keep making us proud!
