Hossein Vafaei has ignored Ronnie O'Sullivan's warning ahead of their second round clash at the World Championship, with the pair reigniting their rivalry.
Ahead of last year's World Championship, which O'Sullivan won, Vafaei claimed the Rocket should retire and accused him of being "not good for the game" of snooker. After O'Sullivan beat Pang Junxu 10-7 in his opening round match at this year's tournament, he was quick to bring up Vafaei's comments and warned him: "Don't rattle my cage!"
Speaking to Eurosport, the seven-time world champion said: "Has he been saying much this year? I think he's learned to be quiet. Don't rattle my cage! I'm just having fun. I love it when they call me out, I love it when they give me stick."
