Nick Ball to Defend WBA Featherweight Title Against Sam Goodman in Riyadh

Global fans will stream Ball’s third title defence on DAZN pay-per-view in the UK with Australian viewers able to order it via Foxtel Main Event or Kayo PPV.

Overview

  • Ball captured the featherweight belt last summer against Raymond Ford and most recently stopped T.J. Doheny in December to secure his second defence.

  • Estimated ring times place Ball vs Goodman around 6 a.m. AEST on Sunday, with the heavyweight main event expected shortly after 7 a.m. AEST.
