Legendary British boxer set for ring return and it's not Amir Khan or Kell Brook

Legendary British boxer set for ring return and it's not Amir Khan or Kell BrookEd Mullholland/Matchroom
A familiar face could return.

Ricky Burns could be about to return to the ring following a spell of inactivity where many considered the Scotsman retired.  

The Irish News are speculating that the former three-weight world champion could be heading to Belfast later this year for an intriguing contest with Tyrone McKenna. 

Burns shot to fame in 2010 when he became world champion at super-featherweight with a big upset win over Roman Martinez.  

Following that victory, Burns would go on a superb run that would see him score decisive wins over quality fighters such as Michael Katsidis and Kevin Mitchell. 

Burns would eventually suffer a downturn in form and would endure losses against the likes of Terence Crawford, Anthony Crolla, and Lee Selby, but he continues to push on with his career.  

Last year, Burns defeated Willie Limond following a near two-year layoff, but can he turn the clock back against the much younger McKenna if the reported fight comes off.
