Doncaster's McDonnell will top the bill as an underdog in his first world title fight, but has warned the unbeaten Vargas not to expect an easy night.

"People and fighters say to me, you look easy, you don't hit hard, and then they get in and have a bit of a shock," McDonnell told Sky Sports.

"I have proven that over time and this Saturday, if Rey Vargas hasn't prepared, or underestimates me in the slightest, I'm going to make him pay."
