Unable to continue making the 130-pound weight limit, Scotland's Burns has vacated his WBO Jr. Lightweight belt and is moving up to Lightweight, where he'll face Michael Katsidis (28-4) for the vacant WBO interim lightweight title. The fight will take place in London, England on November 5th.
Burns has a fine record, 34-2, but only 9 KO's, moving up in weight, to face a hard hitting slugger like Katsidis, will be a big test, especially when you don't have enough power to keep a pug like Kats honest.
