Ricky Burns insists he will not even consider a world title unification fight with Adrien Broner until he sees his way past Jose Gonzalez.
It was announced yesterday that the WBO lightweight champion will face unbeaten Puerto Rican Gonzalez in Glasgow on May 11.
The WBO insisted that Burns take on their mandatory challenger or face losing his strap - ending any immediate hopes of a super fight with WBC champion Broner.
The American is now due to move up two divisions to take on WBA welterweight belt holder Paulie Malignaggi on June 22 but there are still hopes that Burns and Broner can square off in future.
Burns, however, is not looking that far ahead.
