Rachel Ball is on a roll,
The Briton, coming off a notable victory over Shannon Courtenay, defeated late replacement Jorgelina Guanini in a 10-round junior featherweight fight on the Katie Taylor-Miriam Gutierrez on Saturday in London.
The scores were 99-91, 99-91 and 99-92, giving Ball the WBC “interim” title.
Ball (7-1, 0 KOs) received some resistance from the capable Guanini (9-2-2, 1 KO), who holds the IBF junior bantamweight title, but ultimately outworked the Argentine to win rounds.
The resident of Aldridge was supposed to have fought Ebanie Bridges for the vacant WBA bantamweight title but Bridges pulled out because of an injury.
Ball would like to fight for that title but said she is open-minded about her opposition.
“I want to get the WBA title,” she said. “I’m happy to do that fight early on next year. But I’m not going to start picking and choosing at this level.
“You need to fight who they put in front of you and be ready.”
