Hatton energised by new training regime

RICKY HATTON has vowed to put on a “barnstorming” show when he locks horns with Paulie Malignaggi on Saturday.

Hatton meets Malignaggi to defend his Ring magazine light-welterweight title at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, the same venue where he suffered the first defeat of his professional career against Floyd Mayweather last December.

Hordes of Hatton fans have travelled to Vegas to lend their support, and the Manchester fighter has promised not to disappoint them.
