Dan Azeez has promised to seize his British light heavyweight title shot when he faces Hosea Burton on November 20.
Azeez (14-0, 9 KOs) and Burton (26-2, 12 KOs) clash for the belt vacated by Craig Richards on the BOXXER bill at the SSE Arena, live on Sky Sports.
The undefeated English champion says despite his rival, who previously held the Lonsdale title having more experience than him, he is confident of capitalising on his opportunity.
“I’ve always wanted to have the British title,” Azeez told proboxing-fans.com.
“That’s my aim and focus and he’s in the way and unlucky for him, November 20 I’ve got to deal with him.
“I think he’s well schooled, can punch a bit, rangy, I think he’s a good boxer, man.
“A lot of the travellers, they’re good boxers. When he turned over, I’d only just started boxing competitively, so he’s been about for a while.
“So yeah man, I’m just happy I’ve got a decent fighter to face for the British title. I’m very big on legacy and my resume is alright at the moment, it’s decent.
“I’ve got some good names on there and it’ll just top it off to have Hosea Burton on there for the British title.”
