Andre Ward had an impressive professional boxing career that spanned over 12 years, from 2004 to 2017. He had a total of 32 fights, and he won all of them. Ward never tasted defeat in his professional boxing career, which is an impressive achievement that very few boxers can boast of.

Ward had no losses or draws in his record, and he had never lost any fight via knockout. He had 16 knockout wins in his career, which shows his punching power and precision in the ring. Throughout his professional career, he won seven world titles in two different weight classes, which highlights his versatility as a boxer.

Ward's first world title fight was against Mikkel Kessler for the super-middleweight WBA (Super) title on November 21, 2009. He won the fight via an 11 round technical-decision, and he became the super-middleweight champion of the world. Ward then went on to defend his title against some of the best boxers in the division, including Sakio Bika and Arthur Abraham.

In December 2011, Ward faced Carl Froch in a highly anticipated fight that saw him become a unified super-middleweight world champion. He won the fight via 12 round unanimous decision, and he went home with the WBA (Super), WBC, and The Ring super-middleweight world-champion belts.

Ward moved up to the light-heavyweight division, where he continued his winning ways. In November 2016, he faced Sergey Kovalev for the WBA (Super), IBF, and WBO light-heavyweight world-champion belts. The fight was highly competitive, but Ward won via unanimous decision, and he became the unified light-heavyweight world champion.

Ward's last professional fight was on June 17, 2017, against Sergey Kovalev. He won the fight via an 8th round TKO and defended his WBA (Super), IBF, and WBO titles, and he also won the vacant The Ring title.

Ward's unbeaten record, seven world titles across two weight classes, and his unblemished reputation in the ring, earned him a place in the International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF) in 2021. He will be remembered as one of the greatest boxers of his generation and a shining example of excellence in the sport.

Ward's career highlights include his first world title win against Mikkel Kessler, his successful title defenses against Sakio Bika and Arthur Abraham, his unification win against Carl Froch, and his victories over Chad Dawson and Sergey Kovalev in the light-heavyweight division.
