And another said: "Nah the height difference is crazy, just looks awkward in there."

Ball's promoter Frank Warren was left stunned by the height difference between after seeing the pair face off midweek, saying: "It's a tough fight [for Ball].

"I didn't realise the absolute [size] disparity.

"I think that's an advantage for Nick and I hope that's an advantage, he'll even make himself smaller.

"All Vargas will be doing is punching down and maybe trying to lift his shots up.

"He's a quality fighter and he's fighting a quality challenger.

"I honestly feel Nick has the tools to do it and fingers crossed that'll be the case."

Ball enters his first crack at a world title on the back of a decision win over former WBO light-featherweight champ Issac Dogboe.
