Ball vs Figuero: Fight time, undercard, latest odds, prediction, ring walks tonight

The highly-entertaining Liverpool favourite is back on Merseyside for what could be a very tricky test against a former two-division world champion.

That win ame just three months after Ball had been hard done by to miss out on the WBC title at 126lbs in a controversial split-decision draw with Rey Vargas.

Ball (23-1-0, 13 KOs) kicked out and had a point deducted for pushing during his dramatic 11th-round win over Ireland’s TJ Doheny in Liverpool, having also floored Ronny Rios three times during his first defence en route to a late stoppage.

The 28-year-old has since been pushing to unify at featherweight and targeted the likes of IBF champion Angelo Leo and WBO title-holder Rafael Espinoza, while he has also been called out already by Bruce ‘Shu Shu’ Carrington, who picked up the WBC belt by knocking out Carlos Castro on the Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson undercard at Madison Square Garden last weekend.

Ball has also been mentioned as a potentially difficult opponent for pound-for-pound great Naoya Inoue, who could move up to featherweight in future but is first expected to face Japanese rival Junto Nakatani in a super-bantamweight mega-fight later in 2026.

Instead it’s Figueroa (26-2-1, 19 KOs) next, the American former WBA and WBC super-bantamweight and WBC featherweight champion, who lost his belts in two defeats to Stephen Fulton that were more than four years apart.

‘The Heartbreaker’ began on the comeback trail from that latest loss against Joet Gonzalez on the Mario Barrios vs Manny Pacquiao undercard in Las Vegas last July, with many thinking him fortunate to win a competitive WBA title eliminator on the scorecards.

Nick Ball vs Brandon Figueroa takes place tonight, Saturday February 7, 2026. The event is being held in Ball’s home city of Liverpool, at M&S Bank Arena.

Saturday night’s main undercard is due to start at 7pm GMT, with main event ring walks pencilled in for approximately 10:15pm. As ever, those timings are subject to change.

TV channel and live stream: The card is being broadcast live and exclusive worldwide through DAZN, not via its pay-per-view service.

Saturday night’s undercard includes Liverpool’s Andrew Cain in a WBC bantamweight title eliminator against Mexico’s Alejandro Jair Gonzalez, with Naoya’s younger brother Takuma Inoue lying in wait.
