Mofo2 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 A deal to see a rematch between Ricky Burns and Raymundo Beltran is 99 per cent done according to the WBO lightweight champion's manager. Alex Morrison says an agreement to stage a second bout in Glasgow next February should be completed in the next few days. Burns retained his title in controversial circumstances against the Mexican in September after the fight was scored as a draw. Despite carrying on for more than 10 rounds with broken jaw, the Coatbridge fighter is ready to take on Beltran once more. "Ricky feels it's the moral thing to do in giving Beltran another shot," Morrison told BBC Scotland. "He wants to put the record straight after fighting for 10 rounds with a broken jaw in that first fight. "We want it. Beltran wants it and the fans want it. The deal is done. We're 99% there with it and are just waiting for the final confirmation which will happen any day now. "We're looking at early February in Glasgow."
