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. \u201cI\u2019ve asked my promoter Frank Warren to look into a unification fight later this year, and he has assured me that he\u2019s working hard to deliver one for me. Last year I followed Martinez very carefully, and I\u2019ll be doing the same with Mzonke Fana in 2011. He looks like the man to beat at the moment, and he\u2019s the fighter that I want. I took on the best in the world when I beat Martinez, and I\u2019ll do the same with Fana.\u201d Promoter Frank Warren will shortly be announcing details of Burns\u2019 second title defense.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\">Advertise Now On RSR<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=13198\">Purchase Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Family-Secret-Forris-Day-Jr\/dp\/B004GLZ4YG\/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1\">Pre-Order the Horror Thriller FAMILY SECRET Now!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns\u2019 New Year resolutions is to become Scotland\u2019s first ever unified world champion.
