Nick Ball and Ronny Rios are gearing up for their showdown this Saturday, vying for the World Boxing Association (WBA) featherweight title at the Echo Arena in Liverpool.
The Englishman, Ball, will be defending his title for the first time in his hometown against the seasoned veteran Rios, promising an exciting match-up.
Having recently clinched the 130 lbs. crown in a split decision victory over Raymond Ford on June 1, Ball is determined to retain his title in the face of a tough challenge.
Rios, a seasoned fighter with a history of competing for world titles, is making a comeback after a prolonged hiatus and sees this as a golden opportunity to showcase his skills and defend the belt.
The pre-fight activities are in full swing this week, with the official weigh-in ceremony scheduled for Friday. Ball boasts an impressive record of 20 wins, 1 draw, and 11 knockouts, while Rios comes with 34 wins, 4 losses, and 17 knockouts to his name.
