Brandon Figueroa stopped Nick Ball in the 12th round to secure the latter’s WBA featherweight title, as you can see how the fight played out live.

Since his title win over Raymond Ford in Riyadh in 2024, Ball had been on an impressive run. This fourth defense came after big wins over TJ Doheny and Sam Goodman. Meanwhile, Figueroa secured a win over Joet Gonzalez last July. It was the perfect response after a defeat to Stephen Fulton in the fight before. This time he went further and secured a belt.
