Hatton sizes up Pinto

Ricky Hatton will face unbeaten Brazilian Kelson Pinto in the 12th defence of his WBU light-welterweight title at the MEN Arena in Manchester on April 3.

Hatton’s promoter Frank Warren confirmed he had picked Pinto from an initial shortlist of three to provide one of the most dangerous tests yet to Hatton’s own unbeaten 34-fight record.
