Scottish boxing faces some make or break moments in the coming months and it begins on Friday night when Ricky Burns 36-3-1 (11) returns in his first non-world title fight, for four years, at the Braehead Arena in Glasgow against the unbeaten southpaw, Dejan Zlaticanin 18-0 (13).
Burns has been carrying the flag admirably for the sport in Scotland but after nine fights at full world title level which has included seven wins, one draw and one loss, the last act in the career of ‘Rickster’ is now underway.
A win against the unknown Montenegrin will set up a WBC final eliminator in October for Burns or perhaps a shot at becoming a three-time world champion against current green belt holder, Omar Figueroa or his next rumoured challenger Jorge Linares.
