Jose Ocampo has been named as Liam Walsh's replacement to fight Ricky Burns for his WBO lightweight title on December 15.
The Filipino fighter has been drafted in after Walsh was hurt in a car accident and Burns has insisted that he could be in for the "hardest fight of his career" when the pair meet at London's ExCeL Arena.
Burns told Sky Sports News: "I'd say that this is going to be the hardest fight of my career so far against a young hungry challenger who will be looking to take my title.
"Filipino fighters are as tough as they come, just look at Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire, like the Mexicans and Africans they come to have a fight and Ocampo will do just that."
Ocampo has won 17 of his 22 professional fights and he will be stepping up from super-featherweight to take on his Scottish opponent.
