The U.K. and Australia face off on August 16 when Nick Ball defends the WBA featherweight title against Sam Goodman in Saudi Arabia. The fight and card will air on DAZN in the U.K. and Kayo in Australia.
Ball (22-0-1) fought Rey Vargas to a draw for the WBC title. The Liverpool native beat Raymond Ford for the WBA belt and has defended it twice.
Albion Park’s Goodman (20-0) won his last fight in May. It’s his first time competing for gold after failing to capture a bout against Naoya Inoue.

The Inoue fight was thrown out the window thanks to a cut he suffered while sparring with Brad Strand, Ball’s main sparring partner. He believes there were no secrets shared, and, if so, it won’t matter on fight night.
“It is boxing, he is going to have to figure out the puzzle for himself on fight night,” Goodman said. “I have many avenues to victory, and I will exploit whichever one presents itself on fight night. There are many strings to my bow, and I look forward to showing that on Saturday.”
