Nick Ball fails in his bid to become Britain's newest world champion after his WBC title challenge against Rey Vargas ends in a draw.
Nick Ball failed in his bid to become Britain's newest world champion after his WBC title challenge against Rey Vargas ended in a draw.
Standing at just 5ft 2in, Ball gave away six inches of height to his opponent and was at a significant reach advantage. The difference in height did not lend itself to the most enthralling contest but Ball began to turn the tide by turning it ugly, smothering Vargas' attack and landing on the inside. Then came the contentious and messy knockdown. With the pair tangled up on the inside, Ball outmuscled and pushed Vargas before landing a left hook.
The general feeling ringside was Ball had done enough with the two knockdowns to become Britain's first new world champion since Savannah Marshall and Natasha Jonas' world-title double in July 2023.
