Background
Trained by Paul Stevenson in the talent-laden Everton Red Triangle gym, Liverpool's Nick Ball, 26, who has made three successful defences of the WBC Silver title he won against Isaac Lowe in 2022, reckons he is in for an almighty scrap in his final eliminator against a decorated opponent in Dogboe, a fighter fully accustomed to operating at the highest level.
The formerly London-based Ghanaian Dogboe, 29, known as Royal Storm, attempted to win a featherweight world title in April against the celebrated Cuban Olympian Robeisy Ramirez, having previously reigned at super bantamweight following his defeat of Jessie Magdaleno in 2018.
Quotes
Nick Ball: “It is a good fight, and he has got a similar style to me in that he is small and comes forward, It is only going to make for an action-packed fight in my eyes. He has been a world champion and has been in with a few world champions so, on paper, he has got more experience. Although, if I can’t beat him, I won’t be no world champion.
“I definitely make myself favourite and always back myself. All my fights have been in London recently so, with this one being in Manchester and only 40 minutes away, my people will all get down and support me. There will be a big interest, and everyone will be taking notice of this one. I am one step away from a world title fight now and within touching distance.”
Isaac Dogboe: “I know coming off a world title loss, to many, it would’ve sunk them into the abyss. But I am still on my feet and God is guiding me day after day. Fighting in a WBC world title eliminator against an opponent like Nick Ball is a wonderful opportunity. He’s a great fighter with a lot of buzz behind him in the UK. This fight is about redemption. I haven’t fought on English soil since I turned pro. My passion for boxing started there, and I can’t wait to return home.”
Predictions
Tim Rickson, BBN Editor: “I have known Nick Ball for a few years now, well before he was signed by Frank Warren in 2020, and followed his career with great interest. He is one of the most exciting prospects in the UK and his fighting style is simply thrilling, looking for the knockout with every single punch he throws. I have no reason to doubt his chances of winning despite Isaac Dogboe's greater experience as a former world champion. My prediction is that this will be another typical Nick Ball fight, full of excitement and big blows, but one that he grows into, becoming more and more dominant with each round, increasingly stronger and dangerous, until he scores a knockout in the later stages between rounds 10-12.”
