By Jake Donovan - Ricky Burns once again has an opponent for his December 15 lightweight title defense in London.
The streaking two-division titlist will now face Jose Ocampo of the Philippines, who replaces an injured Liam Walsh.
"I’d say that this is going to be the hardest fight of my career so far against a young hungry challenger who will be looking to take my title,” said Burns (35-2, 10KO), who makes the third defense of the lightweight belt he won over a year ago.
“Filipino fighters are as tough as they come, just look at (Manny) Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire. [T]hey come to have a fight and Ocampo will do just that. If he fights like those two, as people say he does, then I’ll be in for a tough night.” [Click Here To Read More]
