Dallas, TX.– POWERHANDZ Inc., a leading athletic training products company, announces Two-Time World Champion and 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist, Andre Ward, as its newest brand ambassador. The company is entering the boxing market by adding Ward and launching its #TrainWithPurpose campaign.

Ward is widely regarded as one of the top-rated pound-for-pound fighters in the world, boasting a (29-0, 15 KOs) career record. With POWERHANDZ, Ward trains his most prized possession, his hands, for specific elements of his upcoming fights that improve his strength, power and hand speed.
