Ricky Burns says he wants to fight the best of British at lightweight as he returns to action against Prince Ofotsu at the KC Lightstream Stadium in Hull on Saturday.
The Scotsman believes that Britain's 135lbs scene is red hot with Manchester's Anthony Crolla coming close to being the second word champion in the division from the city last weekend after his epic battle with WBA ruler Darleys Perez, following Terry Flanagan landing the WBO crown the weekend before against Jose Zepeda.
