Welsh boxer Gavin Rees believes that he can cause "a massive upset" when he fights Adrien Broner for the WBC world lightweight title in February.

Gavin Rees has revealed that he is fulfilling a dream in fighting for the WBC world lightweight title in America.

The 32-year-old Welshman faces the undefeated Adrien Broner in Atlantic City on February 16 and although his American opponent will enter the fight as the huge odds-on favourite, Rees believes that he can surprise the 23-year-old.

Rees told BBC Sport: "When I heard about the fight I took it instantly. It's everyone's dream to box in a big fight in America.

"I'm looking forward to putting on a good show and causing a massive upset."

Rees has won 37 of his 39 professional fights, previously winning the WBA light-welterweight title in 2007.
