Austin “Ammo” Williams vs. Hamzah Sheeraz
Raymond Ford vs. Nick Ball
A clash that has attracted a surprise amount of interest is the middleweight bout between Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams and Hamzah Sheeraz. These two have done a lot of talking back and forth.
There’s a lot of animosity between them, and Williams is a personality that has turned the fight into theater with his tiger tail, and wearing a head dress during the weigh-in.
WBA featherweight champion Raymond Ford defends against the aggressive pressure fighter Nick Ball in a title fight that is expected to be a pure war from start to finish.
This is a fight that could be one of the more interesting ones for viewers, as Ball (19-0-1, 11 KOs) suffocates his opponents with his pressure and he’s going to be putting it on the boxer/puncher Ford (15-0-1, 8 KOs) every minute of action today. The referee is going to earn his pay for this clash.
WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol Faces little known replacement opponent Malik Zinad in a 12-rounder. Zinad sees this fight as his golden ticket to get his name out there, and to move on to bigger and better things.
