Hatton confirms retirement

Britain’s former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton has announced his retirement from boxing in a media briefing today.

The 32-year-old had been linked with several big-name fighters since his last fight, a defeat to Manny Pacquaio, two years ago.

A rematch with Pacquiao and a meeting with Floyd Mayweather Jr were mentioned, but Hatton has decided to call time on a glittering 14-year professional career.
