Former British featherweight champion Paul Appleby believes he can be a force at 9'4.
And the Edinburgh prospect wants to prove it by fighting for Ricky Burns' old Commonwealth super-featherweight title.
Appleby will feature in an eight round contest on September 4 at Glasgow's Kelvin Hall live on Sky Sports
It will be his first fight under new promoter Frank Warren.
The 22-year-old has not fought since he lost his British nine stone belt to Martin Lindsay, his only defeat.
Weight-making issues mean he has stepped up a division, and he wants Burns' championship should the world-title contender vacate.
Appleby told the Edinburgh Evening News: ''I am now struggling to make featherweight so I've stepped up a division.
"After I win my first eight rounder, I aim to fight for the Commonwealth super-featherweight crown that Ricky holds but will almost certainly vacate if he becomes a world champion.
"And if he doesn't win then I'll go after Burns to defend the Commonwealth title against me next.
''As a former British featherweight champion I should have no problems being rated as number one challenger for the Commonwealth super-featherweight title.''
Roman Martinez v Ricky Burns headlines a top quality card that also features John Simpson defending his Commonwealth Featherweight title against Stephen Smith, plus former British Featherweight Champion Paul Appleby and welterweight John Thain.
