Andre Ward has insisted his focus remains on his entertainment career despite Tony Bellew's apparent fight offer.
Bellew beat heavyweight rival David Haye for a second time on Saturday and, although he toyed with the idea of retirement following a dominant display, he named Ward as an opponent he would be interested in facing.

Ward (32-0) has not fought in close to a year and says his focus remains on roles in Creed 2 - the sequel to a film Bellew also featured in - and as host of boxing reality television series The Contender.
"I've been blessed, man," the American told FightHype.
"I just got off the set for Creed 2 and I'm on my way now to the set for The Contender. It's a great opportunity to host that show - I'm focused on that right now. I wish Tony nothing but the best."
Asked whether he would still be receptive to a call from Eddie Hearn, Bellew's promoter, Ward again dodged the issue and pointed out he had heard nothing more from the Matchroom chief since the idea of a second bout with Carl Froch was floated in 2013.
"I've been waiting on a phone call from Eddie since the Froch situation happened, when he fought [Mikkel] Kessler for the second time," he said.
"I've been waiting for Eddie to pick up the phone and I still haven't got that phone call."
