NOW BALL WANTS IT TO GO TO VAR

NICK BALL has demanded a rematch with Rey Vargas to get the chance to add the WBC title to his WBA featherweight crown.

The Liverpool puncher defended his WBA title with a 10th-round stoppage of American Ronny Rios (above) in his home city on Saturday night.

Ball, 27, floored Rios three times on the way to a comfortable victory at the M&S Bank Arena.

The Scouse scrapper won the WBA belt with a points win over Ray Ford in Saudi Arabia last June. It followed a controversial draw with WBC title-holder Vargas in the same country just months earlier.

Many felt Ball was the worthy winner of that bout and now he wants to right the wrong in a unification fight with the Mexican.

He said: "That's the fight I want, that's the one people are talking about.

"When they speak about my fights, they always say I was robbed in that one.
