TOMMY WARD’S wait for a crack at the world title must surely be coming to an end. The Co Durham superbantamweight, rated at four by the WBO for some time, extended his winning sequence to 28 with a masterful performance against Yesner Talavera at the Newcastle Eagles Community Arena.
Ward won all 10 rounds against the former Nicaraguan champion who this summer had gone the distance with Josh Warrington’s IBF featherweight challenger, Sofiane Takoucht.
