Ball will be fighting in his home town for the first time in five years. “It feels good to be back, especially in Liverpool as a world champion – my home city,” said Ball in the press conference. “This means everything to me, this is where I grew up, this is where I started off on the small hall shows selling tickets in nightclubs and sports centers.”
Rios is not fazed by fighting in a tough environment. “This is an extra incentive for me because I’m in his backyard, he lives a couple of minutes from here. In my opinion, this is how a fighter should take a world title, coming to the champ’s backyard and trying to take the title.” Rios said to the media, “This is very exciting, and this is what we work hard for, this is what keeps me up at night – in a good way.”
