Ten years have passed since Ricky Hatton, after three-and-a-half years of abusing his body, returned to the ring against Vyacheslav Senchenko. Ahead of his exhibition with Marco Antonio Barrera next month, he speaks to Declan Warrington about the night his career ended once and for all
Matchroom has confirmed that his pro debut will take place in February 2021, though the company has yet to formally announce any cards for that month. It is likely Hatton will slot in on the undercard of one of Hearn s upcoming shows with a world championship fight in the main event.
“It’s a dream come true to sign with Eddie and Matchroom,” said the teenager. “There’s no bigger platform in the world that I could be signed to, so I’m in a great position. I can’t wait to get in there now, my goal is to be as busy as possible to start with, and to just keep learning and improving with each fight.
