WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns admits that he has not seen any footage of next week's opponent Jose Ocampo.

WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns has insisted that he is fully focused on his own performance against Jose Ocampo next weekend.

Liam Walsh was originally booked to fight Burns but he was forced to withdraw after being involved in a car accident, and the Scot has admitted that he hasn't been able to see his new opponent in action.

Burns told BBC Scotland: "[Trainer] Billy [Nelson] has been struggling to get footage. All of his fights have been in the Philippines. I don't see it being a problem.

"I'll treat the same as any other fight. I don't really like watching opponents anyway. I like to concentrate more on what I'm going to do in the ring.

Burns has won 35 of his 37 professional fights.
