WBA super lightweight world champion Ricky Burns (41-5-1, 14 KOs) retained his world title with a hotly debated decision over Kiryl Relikh (21-1, 19 KOs) on Friday night at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. Relikh seemingly controlled a majority of the rounds yet was not given credit for it as the cards read 118-110, 116-112, 116-112.

It is being basically all, but confirmed that Burns will fight Adrien Broner next.
