Micky Ward: Accomplished Boxer and Oscar Winning Inspiration

Micky Ward, a retired American boxer, has a net worth of $500 thousand dollars. He was born in Lowell, Massachusetts and was an accomplished boxer with multiple Golden Gloves Championships to his name. He decided to join the professional boxing circuit in the mid-80s and won his first fourteen fights in the Junior Welterweight Division. However, he retired from the sport in the early 90s due to problems he was facing.

During his time away from the sport, he underwent multiple surgeries to deal with his damaged right hand. His half-brother, former boxer Dicky Ecklund, convinced him to return to boxing. He launched a comeback in 1997, which was successful as he won his first nine fights. He became WBU Intercontinental Light Welterweight Champion and made it to the Championship fight for the 1997 IBF Light Welterweight title, but ultimately lost. He retired again in 2003.

Fight Magazine chose his fights in 2001, 2002, and 2003 as the Fights of the Year, while he was the subject of the Oscar winning film, “The Fighter” starring Mark Wahlberg.
