Tony Bellew hails Nick Ball as the best of British
Bellew heaped praise on Nick Ball, highlighting his non-stop pressure. “That boy just gets in the ring and he fights and fights non-stop. Aggression. I’d go as far as to say I think he’s the fittest fighter in the country.”
He described him as “literally the Tasmanian devil” due to his refusal to let opponents off the hook. Bellew admires his fearless approach, calling him a fan favourite.
“For pure excitement, I’d go as far as saying he’s the most exciting fighter in this country. I can’t see past him,” Bellew added, cementing his belief in the fighter’s entertainment value.
The undefeated featherweight has gained attention with his relentless style and fearless performances and holds a record of 21-0-1.
Ball recently claimed the WBA featherweight world title with a win over Raymond Ford, following a controversial draw in his previous fight with Rey Vargas. Bellew believes he should now be matched against elite competition to test his full potential.
Bellew wants to see Ball in big fights
Bellew stressed the need for Ball to face top-tier opposition. He believes Ball’s aggressive style will shine even more against high-level fighters.
Ball believes he can go toe-to-toe with the best, including Naoya ‘The Monster’ Inoue.
With a world title now in his hands, Ball has the chance to prove Bellew right. If matched correctly, he could soon become one of Britain’s biggest boxing attractions.
