Ricky Burns Fight
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn says Ricky Burns will not fight at world title level again after the Scot suffered defeat against Dejan Zlaticanin.
Burns lost a split decision in the WBC lightweight eliminator in Glasgow on Friday night, but Hearn does not believe his career is over.
"I might be watching a fighter that hasn't got it at world level any more," said Hearn.
"But I'm not watching a fighter who can't compete in big fights."
Burns was knocked down in the first 30 seconds of the contest and looked susceptible to the left hook throughout the 12 rounds.
