Ricky Hatton's lawyer has hit back at Junior Witter's latest attempts to secure a domestic light-welterweight super-fight by dismissing the potential showdown as "a waste of time".

Williams said: "Ricky has got numerous options to pursue. He is being courted by every big promoter in the US and we have options like Manny Pacquiao, Juan Diaz or a rematch against Floyd Mayweather.
"Why is he going to fight Junior Witter when he can fight any of those guys? In our opinion Junior brings nothing to the table. Unless things change dramatically there is no way he is going to fight Ricky Hatton."

Hatton's next fight will be against somebody he can easily beat. After that it's going to be straight back to the big-money options with Witter a fallback option if he gets a couple of defeats in a row or something. Even then it's unlikely as if Witter wins it makes Hatton's career look a bit fraudulent. It's a risk Ricky doesn't have to take so he won't. I'd almost like to see whoever fights Ricky next to knock him out too so that he eventually has to fight Witter.
