Joe Ward: The unluckiest man in Irish boxing - 'I’ve been through it all and now I can fight through this'

Irish boxer Joe Ward, who made history in 2011 as the youngest Irish boxer to win gold at the senior European Championships, has faced repeated setbacks throughout his career since his early amateur success. He will now fight unbeaten contender Artjom Kasparian at Dublin's 3Arena on Saturday, live on Sky Sports, in a bid to establish himself at the top of the professional sport. Ward's career has been marked by misfortune dating back to a controversial loss at the 2012 Olympic qualification event in Trabzon, Turkey.
