Where Nick Ball vs Sam Goodman is on TV plus live stream, PPV and full card info
Liverpool boxer Nick Ball is set to defend his WBA featherweight crown this month when he takes on Sam Goodman in Saudi Arabia. The 'Wrecking Ball' will meet his challenger in Riyadh on the undercard of Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte, with fans able to order the fight on DAZN.
Liverpool FC supporter Ball will enter the ring the night after the Reds' opening fixture of the new Premier League season on August 15, which sees them begin their own title defence with a home tie against Bournemouth. The 28-year-old will defend his belt for the third time against 'The Ghost', who maintains an undefeated twenty-fight run (8 KOs).
However, all things must come to an end, and the former super-bantamweight challenger, 26, faces a tough opponent in Ball, who boasts a 22-0-1 (13 KOs) record. The Liverpudlian secured his WBA title in an outstanding bout last summer against American Raymond Ford, with Ball earning a tight victory after 12 rounds.
His most recent win came in December against TJ Doheny at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena, with Ball securing a win with a 10th-round stoppage. He goes into his next fight full of confidence and believing he holds the upper hand, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Speaking to The Ring, Ball said: "He'll probably stand and try and fight, won't he? He wants to become world champion. Then he'll realise he can't do that and I'll take over. Either way, whatever way it's going to go, it's going to be in my favour."
To see if Ball will still be the WBA featherweight champion later this month, here's when the Ball vs Goodman fight will be held and how to watch it in the UK.
