Ricky Burns: Evensen Needs a Sledgehammer To KO Me

Ricky Burns has warned Andreas Evensen he will need extra help to beat him on December 4.

And he has told him to come armed and dangerous if he wants to win the WBO super-featherweight title.

Burns defends against the Norway-based Colombian at the Braehead Arena, Glasgow.

And the Coatbridge star says he has taken heart from his performance in winning the belt against Roman Martinez.

"He will need to bring a sledgehammer if he is going to knock me out," said Burns.

"Before I won the title, there were only a handful of people who thought I would do it.

"Martinez tried to humiliate me beforehand and after the first round I think he thought it was going to be an easy fight.

"I got knocked down but I got up again and as the fight went on, my confidence grew and his disappeared.

"I am training now as I did then and there is no way I am leaving there a loser."
