Burns (33-2, 9 KOs) is still marketing himself as a world champion, having given up legitimate WBO super-featherweight belts in 2011 in favor of the WBO's faintly ridiculous "interim" title, which he won impressively last November by out-scoring tough-guy Michael Katsidis in London. Juan Manuel Marquez remains the WBO's "real" lightweight champion.

As viewpoints go, it’s a tad short-sighted and one probably informed by the nation’s dismal away record in alphabet world title fights and little more. Closer inspection reveals a bustling domestic scene packed with highly competitive and action-packed contests, many of which were attached to British, Commonwealth or European championships. Rather than being one to forget, it was in fact a year to remember on the home front. After David Haye and Audley Harrison conspired to leave Sky Sports’ pay-per-view model clinging to a cliff face in 2010, any subsequent fiascos were always likely to threaten the finger ends. Just such an instance occurred in April, resulting in the network doing away with PPV ventures altogether.
