After reports that the ‘Preacher’ had decided to retire hit the news yesterday, Saddoboxing can reveal that actually - Graham was sacked from his position of trainer to the Hitman.
Having first taken Hatton ‘under his wing’ eleven years ago - the two had been inseperable forging a strong ‘bond’ over the years. But rumours had been flying over some discontent in the ‘camp’ during the last 12 months and sadly, news of the ‘split’ came on the internet yesterday.
The Preacher will make his last appearance in Watford this Friday when he works the corner of Ojay Abrahams.

Although everyone knew that last weekend's bout with Antonio Margarito would be very dangerous fight for Miguel Cotto, I was of opinion that Cotto’s boxing skills would prevail against the one-dimensional Margarito.
However, when i saw weight-in I was stunned to see how much Margarito appeared to be the bigger man. He was taller, with longer reach and with much bigger torso.
To me, they didn’t appear to be same weight class – even though on scales they both weighted same.
During the first six rounds of the fight, Cotto was outboxing Margarito through his lateral movements, some brilliant defensive moves, and with quick and sharp counterpunching.
In a second part of the fight, two factors that would cause Cotto’s loss, became obvious. Firstly, all the movements, and circle-running started to take its toll on Cotto’s energy levels.
Secondly, none of the punches that he threw on Margarito had much impact. Well, if you can’t hurt your opponent - you are still in fight – provided you have enough energy for all defensive and counter-punching moves to last you entire fight.
But, if you cannot neither hurt, nor outrun your opponent – at some point you will get caught, and that will be “it”. More...
