Nathaniel Collins Eyes Historic Scotland vs England World Title Clash with Nick Ball

Scottish featherweight Nathaniel Collins is aiming for a world title showdown with England's Nick Ball, setting the stage for an epic Scotland vs England boxing clash.

Scottish featherweight Nathaniel Collins is setting his sights on a monumental world title fight against England's Nick Ball, aiming to create a historic Scotland vs England showdown in the boxing ring. Collins, who boasts an impressive undefeated record of 17 wins, is coming off a sensational victory over Lee McGregor last month at the Hydro in Glasgow.

Collins, 28, is eager to capitalize on his recent success and is looking to headline his own show in Glasgow this September. He believes this will be the perfect springboard to challenge WBA featherweight champion Nick Ball, who is also undefeated with 23 professional wins. Both fighters are promoted by Frank Warren's Queensberry, making the fight an easy one to arrange.

"I just want to be cracking on to world titles now," Collins told BBC Scotland. "It's easy for Queensberry to make world title fights because I'm a featherweight, they've got a world champion featherweight in Nick Ball. He's fighting in Saudi Arabia in the next couple of months as well so by the end of the year, or starting next year, that's an easy fight to make."

Collins is confident about the potential matchup, stating, "An all British, Scotland v England world title fight - it makes sense." He has been calling for this fight for years, and with both fighters gaining significant attention, the timing seems perfect.

Nick Ball, 28, claimed the WBA title with a thrilling win over Raymond Ford in Riyadh last summer and is considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the UK. Collins, on the other hand, has been making waves in the boxing world with his recent performances, including a dominant win over McGregor, which he described as "the best night ever."

As Collins prepares to headline his own show in Glasgow, he is determined to bring big fight nights back to Scotland. "That was the goal when I first signed with Queensbury, I said I want to bring big nights back to Scotland and Glasgow," he said. "I grew up going to Ricky Burns' fights and that made me want to do this. It was spoken about before the last fight, the winner of me and Lee's fight would continue to carry the torch as they say, and hopefully I can keep doing it."

This potential clash between Collins and Ball is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated fights in British boxing, promising to deliver an unforgettable night of action.
