“It was good to get back in the win column, especially abroad when the whole crowd is against you. There’s always things you can take and learn from each fight, win or lose. The loss definitely helped open my eyes to specific things I needed to work on, which I think I showcased in my last fight.”
When asked about his confident statement on social media predicting a “big win,” Burke explained, “Everyone that’s ever watched me fight knows I’m never in a boring fight, I always come to fight.”
Regarding his opponent, Jhoan Salinas, Burke remarked:
“To be honest, I’m never really fussed who the opponent is; anyone can get it. As long as I fight my fight, I know I can beat anyone that’s in front of me.” He continued, “But from what I’ve seen of my opponent, he is decent and should be a good fight, but I don’t see any way he beats me on the feet or on the ground.”
When asked for his prediction for the fight, Burke confidently stated, “In this fight, I’m expecting another stoppage.”
Fans can expect an action-packed night at the Doncaster Dome as Burke looks to make a statement and secure another win in his promising career.
