European super-featherweight challenger Alex Arthur uses videos of boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard to help in his bid to be one of the world's dominant fighters.

The confident British and Commonwealth champion is aiming to add another title to his collection when he steps into the ring with Russian veteran Boris Sinitsin in his home town at Edinburgh's Meadowbank Stadium on Saturday night.

The 27-year-old is looking ahead to a world title shot but he is leaving nothing to chance - with the help of Leonard.

"I like to have a look at some really hard fights so you know what you are letting yourself in for," said Arthur.

"I have a very extensive video library and I like watching Sugar Ray Leonard's early fights when he faced some really experienced fighters and the way he went about them.

"It's good to see how he responded to the tougher fights, when these people put pressure on him.

"I could face a similar style of fight on Saturday so I like watching him in particular. He was one of the most exciting fighters to watch and it's also very educational to watch how he adapted to things.

"It's interesting to see what styles he used and the way he boxed against them."

Arthur will feature on ITV this Saturday and is hoping the added exposure can make him a household name.

The Scot is under pressure to impress after Amir Khan kicked off the television channel's new coverage with an impressive professional debut last week.

But Arthur said: "I can handle everything that is put my way because that's the type of person I am.

"I will take everything in my stride and enjoy the ride.

"I hope the fight is going to be on ITV1 to reach the national audiences.

"I want to become a household name and I can do that by getting people behind me and supporting me.

"Hopefully once they have seen me they will understand more about me and they will want to follow me all the more.

"I have fantastic people behind me and I know people who want to see me lose will turn round to see me win anyway."

The fight was delayed because of the G8 summit but Arthur concluded: "It hasn't really been frustrating and it's probably worked out better for me."
