Roger Cantrell to face Andre Ward on ShoBox

Press Release: Super middleweight Roger Cantrell (12-0, 8 KOs) will fight 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist Andre Ward (13-0, 8 KOs) on Showtime’s ShoBox Series Friday, November 16, 2007 from the Becausejour Cricket Grounds in St. Lucia, the West Indies. Cantrell’s trainer, Bill Hunt, who has worked with Cantrell since Roger was 14 years old, likes his chances. “I have watched Roger over the past 7 years and he has never been more mentally focused and physically prepared. He is working harder than he ever has before. Roger will be 110% ready physically and mentally; he will win this fight.” Hunt said. “The great thing about Roger is that he’s only 20 years old,” said promoter Brian Halquist.
