Ricky Burns could defend WBO title against Alex Arthur

Ricky Burns’ maiden defence of the WBO super-featherweight championship he claimed with a unanimous points victory over Puerto Rican Roman Martinez could be an all-Scottish affair against former champion Alex Arthur.

The Coatbridge-born champion’s promoter, Frank Warren, has revealed that a revenge fight with Arthur is his favoured option for a pre-Christmas promotion, possibly at Braehead Arena.
