Frank Warren: Ball is One of the World's Most Electrifying Fighters.

Frank Warren believes Nick Ball might be the "most exciting fighter" in the world as he gets ready to defend his WBC featherweight title against Ronny Rios in Liverpool.

Nick Ball is set to fight in his hometown as world champion for the first time, entering the ring as the clear favorite against the USA's Ronny Rios.

Promoter Frank Warren believes Rios will need to be at his absolute best to compete with Ball. "Nick is one of the most exciting fighters to watch in the world," Warren said during a press conference. "From the first bell, it's non-stop action. I don’t know where he gets his energy—he just keeps going."

Ball, 27, claimed his world title in May with a split decision win over Raymond Ford.
