After turning his career around and grabbing the WBA super-lightweight belt, the Scottish fighter Ricky Burns is waiting to see who he fights next.
After his last victory it was assumed that he?d defend his title against the renowned American fighter Adrien Broner, possibly in Las Vegas.
But Broner appears to have side-stepped Burns, for now, by agreeing to fight Adrian Granados in February 2018.
Burns remains hopeful though that a fight against the four division world champion Broner could possibly be made in 2017 with Ricky remarking,
‘The fight is still a possibility, but I don’t think it will happen until April or May.?
Meanwhile Burns patiently waits for details of his next fight, remarking,
‘I’ll sit down with my team in the next couple of weeks and decide what’s next.
‘I don’t know what they’ve got planned for me, if I’m going to try to get another fight in, or go after another big name.’
And on continuing to fight at the highest level, Burns further added,
‘When we’re in the gym, sparring and training, I would know if I still didn’t have it and Tony would be the first to tell me. I’ve definitely still got a few big nights left in me.
‘The Hydro in Glasgow is some venue. The last couple of fights I’ve been in there and, if the chance came to get one of these big names over, that would be great.
‘Las Vegas was talked about, so if it is over there then I can’t complain.’
Patience is a virtue but I reckon Ricky Burns is itching to get into the ring with Adrien Broner, don?t you!
Burns Hankering After Broner Fight!
