THE Hitman has shed three stones in training this year, sparking rumors of an imminent comeback which is expected to take place at the MEN Arena in Manchester on November 24.
RICKY HATTON is ready to end his three-year retirement by announcing his return to the ring on Friday.
The former world light-welterweight and welterweight champion will meet the press in Manchester to unveil details of his first fight since a brutal second-round knockout by Manny Pacquiao in May 2009.
The Hitman has shed three stones in training this year, sparking rumours of an imminent comeback which is expected to take place at the MEN Arena in Manchester on November 24.
Hatton, 33, now runs his own promotions company and plans to sign a multi-fight deal with a broadcaster that will culminate in a rematch next year with New Yorker Paulie Malignaggi, whom he beat in Las Vegas in 2008.
Malignaggi has since won the WBA welterweight title with a stoppage win over Vyacheslav Senchenko in Ukraine in April.
After being knocked out by Pacquiao, the fight would suit Hatton as Malignaggi is a light puncher – with only seven of his 31 wins coming inside the distance.
