Andre Ward's manager has admitted "all things are possible" for the retired former world champion, who has recently been linked with a return to the ring.

The 34-year-old American announced his shock departure from the sport last September, but there has been increased speculation about a comeback in recent months, with Ward being named as a possible opponent for Oleksandr Usyk and Britain's Callum Smith.

James Prince, the long-term manager of the two-weight champion, confirmed that Ward is not currently working towards a fight, but suggested he could be open to offers to resume his ring career.

All things are possible, if the right situation is presented, is allowed, you never know.

"We had a lot of success. He left the ring a wealthy man and put 'to be continued'," Prince exclusively told Spencer Fearon for the Ringside Toe 2 Toe podcast.

"You never know, there may be a 'to be continued' situation.

"Andre is a retired fighter right now. I believe that all things are possible. I'll leave it at that.

Ward has not fought since he defended his IBF, WBA and WBO light-heavyweight belts by stopping Sergey Kovalev in a Las Vegas rematch in June 2017.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has suggested that Ward would be one of the few big-name opponents that would tempt Usyk to make another defence of his four cruiserweight titles.
