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.
