Irish Tabloids this morning have revealed that Ricky has been approached by Irish Promoter and recent friend Brian Peters about Fighting in Ireland. Peters and Hatton's father both confirmed talks, with Peters saying it's too early to announce much and Ray Hatton saying it would be nice.

Ray Hatton went on to say that he sees a fight with Witter happening but not right now as "Ricky is a shadow of himself." He however went on to say that should an Irish fight happen it would be a world ranked opponenet as Ricky has to "get up for it".....

In the piece Ricky says he will fight twice next year as his cycle goes in "two's and three's" He also said that Floyd said to him that he gave him his toughest fight....

Lots to pick at in there, but most importantly the mountain has come to me
