Paddy Donovan knocks out Danny Ball

Limerick’s Paddy Donovan secured the WBA Continental Welterweight Title with a fourth round TKO against Danny Ball in a statement performance at the 3Arena.

On the Katie Taylor vs Chantelle Cameron undercard, the Andy Lee-trained southpaw floored Ball with a huge left hook in the fourth round and sent him to the canvas once more with a thunderous body shot moments later.
