Hatton win sets up Castillo super-fight

RICKY HATTON reclaimed his old IBF light-welterweight title and set up a June super-fight back on the Las Vegas Strip after battling past Juan Urango at the Paris Casino.

Hatton was forced to suck up some rib-bending body shots on his way to claiming wide 119-109 verdicts on all three judges’ scorecards, earning him a match against Mexican Jose Luis Castillo.

The dream showdown was almost scuppered before Hatton climbed into the ring, as Castillo looked simply dreadful gaining a split decision win over Hernan Ngoudjo on the undercard.
