WATCH: Ryan Burnett Public Workout


Ryan Burnett [17(9)-0] returned to Belfast this morning ahead of his massive World title unification.

The IBF bantamweight champ puts his belt on the line against WBA titlist Zhanat Zhakiyanov [27(18)-1(0)] on Saturday October 21st at the SSE Odyssey Arena, live on Sky Sports and HBO.

Fight week properly kicked off this afternoon with the public workout which took place at Victoria Square Shopping Centre in Belfast city. A large crowd assembled around the ring, and the levels above it, as the undercard fighters and Zhakiyanov went through their paces before a large cheer for Antrim Road man Burnett.

The 25 year old went on the pads with coach Adam Booth before taking the mic and addressing the crowd.
