Katsidis is no stranger to British fans who have seen the man from down under thunder past two of our boxers already stopping both Graham Earl and Kevin Mitchell respectively.
Burns who found it a struggle to make the super featherweight limit for the division he won and defended his World title three times, since beating Roman Martinez to win it in September 2010.
Katsidis, 31, is paying alot of respect to his Scottish opponent and fellow former world champion and believes that Burns will be dangerous and points out the Coatbridge boxers experience at world level is also something he is aware of.
“Burns has better boxing ability than both Kevin Mitchell and Graham Earl. Burns is powerful and is a very consistent fighter. He has shown it in the past.
“I don’t think Burns will be at a disadvantage moving up a weight. It’s a move he should have made a long time ago. Some underestimate his power but not me. I do not feel I am the favourite for this fight or that I have the edge. I feel we are on par.
“I may be experienced at the top level but Burns has an awful a lot of experience, too. He showed that last year when he won his title.”
