Nick Ball says he will seek to do one “statement“He defended the WBA lightweight belt championship against No. 6 TJ Doheny in the main event battle at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, England on Saturday, March 15.
Fans don’t understand why Ball, 28, defended Doheny, 38. Doheny (26-5, 20 KOS) will win the seventh round of knockout in the undisputed super lightweight champion Naoya Inoue September 3 last year.
A sad choice
Additionally, Irishman Doheny made his debut on 126, which made it look even more weird. If Ball had at least one person who fought and won in a lightweight battle against it, it would have been more sport. Isn’t that how it should work?
These killers rank higher than Doheny in the WBA’s lightweight rankings:
– Bruce Carrington
– Otabek Kholmatov
– Brandon Figueroa
-Mirco Neck
It makes sense to use Doheny as an opponent on one level, selling tickets to casual boxing fans who know his name. However, this is not a good value for fans, as he is obviously washed and doesn’t belong to the ring with a champion like Nick Ball. Plus, you should win the world title without giving them from behind the knockout loss. If the fighter can win the world championship after being bombed, it will defeat the entire purpose.
TJ Doheny was a great fighter a few years ago, but he has been gliding since 2019 when he experienced a bad patch of 1-3. His career hasn’t rebounded since then, because all his wins have been associated with scrubs.
Ball (21-0-1, 12 KO) is playing his second defense for the WBA 126-pound belt he won against Raymond Ford last year.

TJ Doheny: “I look forward to showing my skills in front of the Liverpool crowd over the weekend,” Doheni on today’s Press Conference Before he fought WBA lightweight champion Nick Ball. “He’s a fighter. He’s not a world champion.”
Nick Ball: “I don’t care what he did, the people he was with and everything he did in the last fight. It’s all irrelevant. It’s all the past. He fought me on Saturday night. I really just focused on that.” Nick Ball said of Doheny, 38, who was knocking Naoya Inoue.
“I really don’t know. When asked if Doheny really believes he can win, Ball said: “It doesn’t matter to me.” “I focus on me, I believe me. It was on Saturday night, doing my best. I’ve always wanted to do better and have always wanted to make a statement show at Liverpool, especially at Liverpool, where everyone bought tickets to support all the fighters. When asked if he wanted to do better with Doheny, that’s the show they should have for them.
