Witter bullish ahead of Hatton bout

World light-welterweight champion Junior Witter has warned his rival Ricky Hatton he is risking his career as well as his long-term health by allowing his weight to balloon dramatically between fights.

Witter is preparing to make the first defence of his WBC title against Arturo Morua in London next Saturday while Hatton will challenge for the IBF version of the world title in Las Vegas against Juan Arango on the same night.
