WBA featherweight champion Nick Ball (21-0-1, 12 KOs) will have another hometown title defense on Saturday as he faces veteran TJ Doheny (26-5, 20 KOs) live from the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK. The event, which Queensberry is promoting, will stream live on DAZN worldwide.

Ball is coming off an interesting year as he came up short via a draw against Rey Vargas for the WBC title but then captured the WBA title three months later after beating Ray Ford via split decision. Ball would then come back in October and stop Ronny Rios in the tenth round of their fight. Ball faces Doheny, and a win sets him up for potential unification fights with the other champions in the division.

The 38-year-old Doheny is likely approaching his last fight sooner rather than later, but he still has the fire to put up a good fight. His last fight was in September, as Naoya Inoue stopped him in the seventh round of their undisputed super bantamweight bout. Can Doheny turn the clock back for one more night and capture a world title?
