Who else is on the huge Liverpool bill?
Nick Ball returns this weekend in what is sure to be a packed homecoming in Liverpool.
The Wrecking Ball is a 5ft 2in whirlwind who has rightly been dubbed Britain’s most exciting boxer and compared to Mike Tyson.
He faces former world champ Brandon Figueroa on Saturday night for his WBA featherweight title.
Liverpudlian Ball has won four in a row since his controversial split draw with Rey Vargas in March 2024.
The champ has since beat Raymond Ford, Ronny Rios, TJ Doheny and Sam Goodman in crowd-pleasing wins.
Figueroa is no slouch, losing a world title tilet against Stephen Fulton in Feburary before winning a comeback bout against Joet Gonzalez in July.
Ball also knows big fights against the likes of Tyson protege Bruce Carrington or Japanese sensation Naoya Inoue are real possibilites should he win.
