King backs Hatton bid for the top

Don King has backed Ricky Hatton’s bid to establish himself as one of the world’s leading welterweights irrespective of whether a title is on the line in Boston on Saturday.

Confusion surrounds Hatton’s clash with New Yorker Luis Collazo, with an American court still to rule whether the ‘Hitman’ is entitled to bid for Collazo’s WBA belt.
