    Seems an elite talent under the radar.
    No idea why Hearn or ****** don't snap him up considering he's better than 99% of their fighters

    Was a top amateur, seems to have everything in his locker.. proper all rounder including power.just 22 years old, now trained by Adam Booth in London.

    Could this Belfast boy emulate Frampton's success??

    He was signed with Hatton wasn't he? Might explain his inactivity, out of the ring a year already. By this stage Frampton had maybe 10 fights and a Celtic title plus exposure on sky. I've always felt Burnett had the talent but without the right promotion he'll go nowhere I'm afraid!

    Ryan had four fights in six months with Hatton and was looked after in the 12 months when he couldn't get a license due to a query on his brain scan.

    Not my place to go into his time off, but it has nothing to do with promotions.

    Fair shout! Had no idea that was regards a brain scan or whatever, I was worried it was due to lack of TV dates.
