Ricky Burns Hot for Mzonke Fana
One of WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns’ New Year resolutions is to become Scotland’s first ever unified world champion. The 27-year-old took the title from Roman Martinez in a thriller last year and is now looking to add another belt to his collection. “I’ve asked my promoter Frank Warren to look into a unification fight later this year, and he has assured me that he’s working hard to deliver one for me. Last year I followed Martinez very carefully, and I’ll be doing the same with Mzonke Fana in 2011. He looks like the man to beat at the moment, and he’s the fighter that I want. I took on the best in the world when I beat Martinez, and I’ll do the same with Fana.” Promoter Frank Warren will shortly be announcing details of Burns’ second title defense.
