Rising featherweight star Nick Ball will face Namibian Nathanael Kakololo at Copper Box Arena on July 16th.
The fierce Liverpool striker will make his first defence of the WBC Silver title which he won by knocking out Isaac Lowe at Wembley Stadium in April.
His opponent, Kakololo, 33, is 14-3-1 with six stoppages fought in May with a sixth-round stoppage of Kasimu Hamad Haji. He won the African Boxing Union featherweight title in August 2019 and made a successful defence in December before losing a majority decision to Oleg Malinovskyi in Ukraine.
Kakololo is on the ball, following a three-fight win streak, with two of the wins coming via knockout.
