After a torrid distance fight, England’s Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton is the new IBF light welterweight champion of the world. The fight was a rough encounter and both fighters had their moments but the end came when an exhausted champion Kostya Tszyu could not come out to contest the twelfth and final round. Hatton becomes only the second man to defeat Tszyu, Vince Phillips being the first many years ago. Hatton remains undefeated and becomes the IBF champion in a famous win for British boxing in front of his adoring Manchester supporters who have followed him faithfully for many years.
