Ricky Burns to face Michele Di Rocco for super-lightweight world title
Ricky Burns can become a three-weight world champion when he takes on Michele Di Rocco for the vacant WBA super-lightweight title in Glasgow on May 28.
The former super-featherweight and lightweight world champion's big chance, live on Sky Sports, will see him fight on Scottish soil for the first time in almost two years.
Burns (39-5-1-KO13) knows he can make history and join the likes of British legend Duke McKenzie by winning a world title at three different weights if he beats former European champion Di Rocco (40-1-1-KO18).
