The champion arrived in Riyadh on Tuesday and shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight. Ball told DAZN:
"I don't usually study my opponents. I don't know much about him. Whatever the plan is, I'm going to impose it."
Goodman, nicknamed "The Ghost," comes into the fight with a perfect 20-0 record, including 8 knockouts. The Australian challenger, a former super bantamweight contender, sees this as his opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream.
"I'm going to go through with it. This is my dream and I'm going to fulfill it," Goodman stated confidently.
The fight marks Ball's third defense of his WBA featherweight title. Goodman aims to dethrone the champion and maintain his own unbeaten record in what promises to be an exciting clash between two rising stars in the division.
Both fighters bring unblemished records and contrasting styles to the ring. Ball's aggressive approach and knockout power will be put to the test against Goodman's technical skills and determination.
The bout adds to an already stacked card for the Esports World Cup Fight Week, bringing together top talent from around the world in a unique blend of esports and boxing.
