Setting up Burns/Ritson next? Would be a good splash win for Ritson and a goodbye destruction for the Rickster

I’d rather just see Ricky retire, he’s above just being used as a name to build younger fighters IMO. Not too sure how financially secure Ricky is, I know he lost that lawsuit to Frank and had to declare bankruptcy, maybe that’s why he’s still fighting.

I think you’re right though, I could see Hearn putting him in with Ritson next.

Maybe he tries to get him in the WBSS for a swansong. Still one place up for grabs I think. Ritson/Burns would be a pretty sad ending.

I once heard that Burns wanted to get to 100 fights. I don't know that is true but the guy has over achieved and well done to him.
