Medalist and top-10 world rated Andre S.O.G. Ward has just released a
statement on August 20th, that on Friday, August 8 at around 6 AM
(PST) he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.
Dr. Warren King, who has operated on many top athletes, and is also
affiliated with the Oakland Raiders, San Jose Sharks and the San Francisco
Giants, performed the surgery at Fremont Medical Center.
Warren says the operation was a complete success and that Ward should be
able to resume training within 6 to 8 weeks. Andre has been undergoing rehab
at Ather Nova Care under the supervision of Dr. Donald Chu, and is currently
focusing on upper body and core training.
In order to respect the doctor's wishes, Ward and his team plan to schedule
a fight as soon as late 2008 to early 2009.
"As a Christian, I have to look at my situation from a spiritual
standpoint,” stated Andre. “I know God has a plan in this. He knows better
than me what's up ahead, I trust him 100 percent with my life and career. It
is not a setback but a setup for what is to come. I am hungry for not only a
world title, but for the opportunity to become a reigning champion, I will
come back stronger!" |
