I hope this fight doesn't happen nothing against Rees he is a good fighter but there is nothing for Burns to gain from fighting him. Rees is not a big name. He couldn't sell a ticket to his mom for 50p. He comes in with his head alot so could cut Burns and stall his progression. Finally who honestly believes that Burns wouldn't handle Rees?
