Happy Birthday the often underrated World Champion boxer Ricky Burns born April 13th in Coatbridge.Ricky has had a sterling career as one of the best British boxers of recent times. He has repeatedly upset the odds to win world titles at three separate weight divisions – Super Featherweight, Lightweight and Super Lightweight. Ricky has made history by becoming the first Scottish fighter to hold a world title in 3 different weight categories!Ricky is considered one of boxing’s “nice guys” as well as a superb role model. He recently made a comeback, winning a fight against Argentina’s Emiliano Dominguez Rodriguez by unanimous decision in Sunderland in December, his first fight in two years. Ricky hasn’t mentioned an opponent yet, but hopes to be back in the ring again soon. -- source link
