WBO Lightweight Champion Ricky Burns and challenger Kevin Mitchell may be good friends, but that isn’t going to stop them participating in a brutal fight.
The pair clash in a domestic showdown on Saturday 22nd September at the SECC in Glasgow, live and exclusive on BoxNation.
Two- two-weight champion Burns will put friendship aside and be ruthless in the fight, "Come fight night once we step into the ring the friendship is over, this is business time," Burns said.
Londoner Mitchell is looking to finally win a world title and is confident he can beat his friend, "You can’t beat Ricky’s personality, he’s a lovely man and a mate of mine. We genuinely get on well and there won’t be any trash talking. But once we get in the ring we fight, that’s our job.
“I’ve wanted this fight for a long time now and Ricky has given me the chance. I’m determined to win it, but I know I’m in for a hard night’s work.”
