‘Hitman’ returning for one last shot

RICKY HATTON admits his determination to finish at the top convinced him to return to the ring following his two-round destruction by Manny Pacquiao last year.

The popular Manchester ‘Hitman’, who admitted back in September he expected to lace on the gloves again, confirmed yesterday he will have at least one more bout before calling it a day.

The 31-year-old has not boxed since the Pacquiao loss in Las Vegas last May but insists he will fight “a top-10 ranked pound-for-pound fighter or a world champion of some sort” this summer.
