THE promoter of Ricky Burns’ next opponent Julius Indongo hopes his fighter doesn’t become the victim of a hometown decision when the pair meet in the world super-lightweight unification bout in Glasgow this weekend.

Indongo become the IBO and IBF world champion in December when he stunned the previously undefeated Russian Eduard Troyanovsky within 40 seconds in Moscow and those belts, as well as Burns’ WBA title, will be up for grabs at the SSE Hydro on Saturday night.

This will be only the second time Indongo has fought outside of his native Namibia since turning professional and his promoter, Nestor Tobias, hopes the 34 year-old won’t need to produce another knock-out just to be sure of the win.

“We would like to believe that the judges will be fair seeing that this is such a big fight,” Tobias said. “We have, however, seen some very dodgy and questionable decisions in big fights and we pray that we don’t become victims of such. Judges must be fair and consistent at all times, and home ground advantage cannot influence their scoring.

“It is a wrong notion to expect the visiting boxer to win by knockout only in order to win the fight. We will do the best we can to convince the judges that Indongo walks out with three world title belts on the night. The world will be watching and we will, of course, accept nothing less than fair play.”
