Ricky Burns wants a showdown with fellow world champion Mzonke Fana after retaining his WBO super-featherweight title with a points victory over Andreas Evensen. Despite not being at his best, the Scottish fighter was still the dominant fighter in his first defence of the belt at the Braehead Arena on Saturday night. Now the 27-year-old is already looking ahead to possible future opponents - with South African Fana, the current IBF title-holder, firmly in his sights. However Burns will first enjoy a well-deserved break having only been crowned his country's 12th world champion three months ago. Ring title "I'm after the Ring magazine title," Burns said. "I want to fight Fana, he is number one and I'm number two. "There has been talk about it on the net about the two of us fighting for the Ring magazine award. "It's the belt I've always wanted as well, so if we can get it happening, let's get it on. "That's just the fight I would like to get, I will leave it up to my manager and promoter and I'm sure if they can get the fight to happen they will. I'm willing to fight anybody." Colombian-born Evensen certainly didn't make life easy for Burns, who was fighting for the first time since shocking the boxing world with his triumph over the highly-rated Roman Martinez in September. The challenger was dropped to the floor inside 10 seconds but never looked like being stopped. Burns was, however, awarded victory by 118-109, 119-108 and 119-108 on the three judges' scorecards. "I said before the Martinez fight, when I know I'm up against it, that's when I'm at my best," Burns said. "Everyone thought this was going to be an easy fight for me and people were saying I was going to knock him out in three or four rounds. "I tried to ignore that because, when you go in with that attitude, it ends up being your hardest fight. "Andreas proved everybody wrong, he's a tough character and will go on to better things. "He was quite awkward, coming in with his head down low and big wild hooks over the top. But to win every round and not be at your best, I'm still happy. "At times it felt I was getting on top of him, other times I just felt I was a wee bit flat-footed. But I'm sure it's nothing a wee break is not going to cure." Rest required Trainer Billy Nelson accepted Burns now needs a break to recharge his batteries before returning to the ring with a bang in 2011. "Ricky has been on the move a wee bit too long now, he needs a good solid four weeks off," he said. "The Martinez fight had been on and off in February, March, April, July and it ended up in September. "So he was stop-start all the time, losing weight, putting it back on, and that takes a lot out of an athlete. "Fair play to him, the performance against Martinez was exceptional by any stretch of the imagination. "He was absolutely sparkling in the gym 10 days ago. I'm disappointed because what I see in the gym on a day-to-day basis is class." http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12183_6555447,00.html
