QUOTE:
Ricky 'Hitman' Hatton has confirmed that he is making a comeback, over three years since he was last knocked out by Manny Pacquiao inside two rounds in Las Vegas.
"I think it will be around about the summer. I've had a good recharge of my batteries. I've totally put my last fight behind me. I've decided to give it another go. I don't want my fans to remember me by my last fight. And I want it to be a decent opponent. I want to finish at the top," Hatton told Sky Sports.
A year after his defeat to Pacquiao, Hatton was captured on video taking cocaine which resulted in the former IBF and WBA light-welterweight champion entering rehabilitation. News of Hatton having an affair with a female fighter broke out about the same time but the Mancunian has gained the respect of the public once again by keeping his nose clean and focusing on his promotional career in the sport.
Opponents such as Amir Khan have been mentioned but further details have yet to be announced.
"..... by keeping his nose clean......"
No pun intended?
