    Two weeks till the Ray Beltran fight and training camp has gone very well, we've had some excellent sparring for this fight from the likes of Kirk Goodings,Scotty Cardle and Richard Commetty.
    Last few days sparring starting monday are with Gary Sykes whos a very talented lad, you will all see a diffrent Burns this time im sure the above lads would confirm that.
    Cant wait till the 7th Sept and Burns will kick off a great month for British boxing!

    There hasn't been much of a promotion yet for this fight, are you happy with that Billy? I think this will be an interesting match up.

    Yes Beltran's a very good fighter but i expect Ricky to beat this guy and send a message over to America, so hopefully we can fight there soon.:good

    Lewis is a very good fighter who has been picking things up nicely and learning each time hes up, very strong lad who's style is perfect for the pros.
    Even better ive converted him into a Rangers fan :tong Lewis McRitson
