| Ricky Hatton strolled into the Top Rank Gym in Las Vegas, ahead of 15 hard rounds on the infamous bodybelt with trainer Billy “The Preacher” Graham. In attendance was Laila Ali, daughter of the Great Muhammad Ali.
The two fighters got on great with Ricky inviting Laila to his fight against Juan Urango at the Paris Hotel,Las Vegas on Saturday 20th January. |

Laila noted a tattoo on Billy’s arm of her dad and said “That’s the first time I ever seen anybody have a tattoo of my Dad” Billy replied “My Dad let me stay up late to watch your dad beat Sonny Liston.”
Ricky then got down to serious business and banged out the 15 rounds on the body belt at a blistering pace. Firing on all cylinders the Hitman is looking sharp and focused on Urango.
But the serious side lost to the joker when he left his sweaty training union jack underpants in the Top rank Gym as a souvenir of his visit. A prized possession for the gym manager said he will frame them and give them pride of place in the Top rank gym.
It is hoped they go over Floyd Mayweathers poster.
