Nick Ball will take on the undefeated Ludumo Lamati on the undercard of Michael Conlan’s IBF world title clash with Luis Alberto Lopez later this month.
Ball, who is the current WBC silver featherweight champion, was one of the breakout stars of 2022, as he beat Isaac Lowe, Nathanael Kakololo, and Jesus Ramirez Rubio. All three were stopped by the hugely popular 'Wrecking' Ball, who is increasingly becoming a must-see attraction in the sport.
Now 17-0 with 10 KOs to his name, the 26-year-old will return to the ring on Saturday, May 27 at the SSE Arena in Belfast. Lamati, on the other hand, is currently ranked at No. 7 by the IBF at super-bantamweight but had his last fight at featherweight, when he knocked out Mark Anthony Geraldo inside four rounds.
