Nick Ball defends his WBA featherweight world title in his home city with a punishing 10th round stoppage win over Ronny Rios at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena.
A bloodied Nick Ball defended his WBA featherweight world title in his home city with a punishing 10th round stoppage win over Ronny Rios at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena.
"My nose always goes, it's boxing, you're going to get a little nosebleed, it's what makes champions," Ball said. Ball made his debut in a Liverpool night club in 2017 but had not fought in the city for more than four years. He darted to the ring rather than allowing himself time to savour the moment.
The Californian was standing up to the attack and drew blood from Ball's nose in the second, but the intensity and power punches from the home fighter continued as he dropped Rios with a short left hook in the third.
