WBO World Super-Featherweight champion Ricky Burns wants to beat Scott Harrison's Scottish record of seven successful world title defences.
Coatbridge hero Burns makes the third and hardest defence of his title on Saturday 16th July at Liverpool's Echo Arena against the former Champion Nicky Cook, live on Sky Sports 1HD.
Although Burns is very much taking his career one fight at a time, he can't help but have an eye on the bigger picture.
That includes becoming even more successful than Harrison, who enjoyed two reigns as WBO World Featherweight king and to step up a division and do the same there.
"I grew up watching Scott when I was a young professional, and he was an inspirational figure," said Burns.
"There were some great nights for Scottish boxing when he defended his world title at the Braehead Arena and I featured on the undercard which was a great learning experience.
"He had so much success that everyone thought his record would never be broken, but a win for me against Nicky Cook on July 16 and I am almost half way to matching him.
"I just want to fight at world level for as long as I possibly can, beat the best names out there and really cement my name in the history books.
Tickets, priced at £50, £80 and £100, are available on 0844 8000 400 or www.echoarena.com
