    He'll need to hone his skills to compete at the world level consistently. But he's only 16 fights in so he has a lot to learn still. Anyone with that kind of power can compete at most levels, and also he's actually got more than just a punch.

    I know it's a cliche , but he fights like a mini golovkin.

          World level potential. Let's see if he gets there. He definitely has me keeping an eye out

            He's already Euro/ B level; obviously we can't know where his ceiling is but he might well get to A-minus level, so wouldn't be surprised if he wins a world title if he improves technically.

              Bombs away!

              Ritson will need to learn to keep his chin down when trading to get to world level.

              My favourite fighter to watch at the moment though. He's hard as nails!

                Who knows.

                I'd say if you're making very light work of decent solid British title level fighters, you are probably on course for world level. Even if you think of some previous British title holders that went onto world level, you never really see anyone doing it with such ease at that level.

                Still has a lot of learning to do. I still think he's about 5 fights away from fighting at real world level. By early next year, it'd be good to see him fight someone like Barroso or an ex champ like Pedraza.

                Right now, i'd match him with some fighters that are hard to stop and that can give him movement and rounds.

                  What is with the Euro level bit? GGG, Ursk, Beterbiev, Loma, Bivol and AJ are great champions who live in Europe just to name a few.

                    I think he'd beat Antonio Lozada Jr
