Ricky Hatton To Be Stripped of IBF Title

[ICB]

Why is he going to be stripped, he's only just won it?

If this was known before the fight was made, Im sure the fight would not of happened....

Exactly. The IBF just made him fight Urango and now wants him to fight the guy Urango just got the decision over. Hey Rabah just beat Arturo Morua. Hatton better make plans to fight him too

Urango didn't beat Rabah.

Which is why I worded it the way I did. Haven't seen the fight but from all accounts he got a gift.
