Win big to keep the Ball rolling

NICK BALL makes me look tall. At 5ft 2ins he is bull-like in style, attacking and entertaining to watch.

Next week in Saudi he makes his third defence of my old WBA featherweight belt on the Moses Itauma-Dillian Whyte undercard.

On paper at least his Australian opponent, Sam Goodman, does not look to have the pedigree to trouble him.

Nevertheless, Ball will want to defend in style before calling out WBC champ Rey Vargas, who is ready to return after injury.

The pair fought to a split-decision draw last year for the WBC belt, leaving Ball bitterly disappointed after twice sending Vargas to the carpet in the eighth and 11th rounds.
