British Boxing Board of Control respond to claims surrounding wrapping of Nick Ball’s hands

“The situation that has been recorded is that they [Figueroa’s team] arrived later than the pre-arranged time,” Robert Smith, of the Board, told BoxingScene. “[Ball’s trainer] Paul Stevenson, who had three fighters on the bill, requested to move ahead with the wrapping of hands which was approved by the WBA supervisor and the Board inspector. So, there was a representative from the Board and the WBA watching the hands being wrapped.
