Kendrick Ball: record, next fight and profile →
On Saturday night reigning WBC USNBC Silver Super Middleweight Champion Kendrick Ball Jr. (16-1-2, 11 KOs) of Worcester, MA, and challenger Tyi Edmonds (14-3, 9 KOs) of Meridian, MS, look for that career-defining win when they face one another in the main event of CES Boxing’s MGM Springfield debut.
Former New England middleweight champion Kendrick “Peppa” Ball, Jr. turned in a career-best performance in last night’s main event against dangerous Bryan “The Warrior” Vera on the evening portion of the “Crossroads” day-night doubleheader, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.
Veteran Texas fighter Bryan “The Warrior” Vera is in a win-or-retire fight April 17th versus former New England middleweight champion Kendrick “Peppa” Ball in the 8-round main event for the vacant World Boxing Council USNBC (U.S.) Silver super middleweight title at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.
It’s not often a fighter gets an opportunity to face someone he grew up watching or, in some cases, even idolizing. Consider Kendrick Ball Jr. one of the fortunate few. And while it may be a bit of an exaggeration to bill this as a "passing of the torch," the Worcester, MA, super middleweight prospect knows his April 17, 2021 showdown against former world title-holder Bryan Vera is the type of the fight that can get him noticed and move him one step closer to where he wants to be.
Granite Chin Promotions will kick-off 2021 with a day-night doubleheader April 17, highlighted by a vacant World Boxing Council USNBC (U.S.) Silver super middleweight title fight between former New England middleweight champion Kendrick "Peppa" Ball, Jr. and veteran Texas fighter Bryan Vera, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.
