Ricky Burns says fatherhood is going to make him even hungrier to stay a World champion, starting with a defence of his WBO World Lightweight title against Raymundo Beltran tomorrow (September 7) live on Sky Sports 2 HD from the SECC in Glasgow.

The Coatbridge star became a father for the first time when his wife Amanda gave birth to a boy last Thursday, and ahead of the fourth defence of his crown the 30 year old says he has a new perspective on boxing with the new arrival to Team Burns.

“I’ve always been hungry for my fights but now I have even more to fight for with my little boy,” said Burns, who scaled 9st 8lbs 4oz – 9oz less than the challenger from Mexico. “I’m fighting to give him a great start in life and it’s definitely something that will drive me on to win not just tonight, but in all my future fights.

I'm going against the grain on this one. I'm picking Ricky Burns to retain. I believe he his smart enough to learn from his previous fights. I could be wrong but even though they say they're ready for war, I think he will be a bit more strategic. He's not going to ****. He's going to stay on the outside and win on points.

Impress another day.

Burns looks like a choir boy. Beltran looks like an ex-con.
