The featherweight division is gearing up for a clash that promises to be a thriller between Nick Ball, the current world champion, who will defend his title against TJ Doheny in a fight at the M&S Bank Arenain Liverpool, England, which will take place on Saturday, March 15.
On paper, Nick Ball looks to be the clear favourite. His unbeaten record and his last victory over Ronny Rios, whom he defeated by knockout in the tenth round, back him up as the man to beat.
Ball arrives in great form and with the confidence of someone who does not know defeat. He knows that a solid defense would bring him closer to even greater challenges, and he will therefore seek to close the fight as soon as possible.
In the other corner, TJ Doheny arrives with the urgency to change the course of his career. His most recent fight ended in a seventh-round technical knockout loss to Naoya Inoue in the super bantamweight division. Now, back at featherweight, he sees this matchup as a key opportunity to redeem himself and prove that he still has a lot to offer.
With an aggressive Ball and a Doheny with nothing to lose, this duel promises to be more than just a title defence.
