RICKY HATTON: I WANT TO MAKE BRITISH BOXING PROUD OF ME AGAIN
RICKY HATTON has claimed that the main motivation behind his boxing comeback is to make Brit fans proud of him again.
The Mancunian will make his return to the ring against Vyacheslav Senchenko on November 24, to be shown exclusively live on Primetime.
Hatton, 34, last fought over three years ago, when he suffered only the second defeat of his career against Manny Pacquiao.
Since that time, 'The Hitman' has suffered problems with both drink and depression.
But the former two-weight world champion is hoping that he will prove himself to the sport again, now that he has come out of retirement.
"I want British boxing to be proud of me again," he said.
"The only way to convince everyone I'm back is by flattening someone on 24th November."
Hatton promotions have confirmed that the Senchenko bout at Manchester Arena will be exclusively live in the UK on Primetime.
And the channel's director of programming Chris Ratcliff is sure that there will be a fairytale ending to the highly-anticipated clash.
“To be offered this opportunity, to broadcast Hatton vs. Senchenko, is a huge deal for us," he said
"This could be the start of a comeback tale of Hollywood proportions! We will support Ricky and his team all the way and wish all the best for him on 24th November.”
