Following his seventh round win over Stevie Johnston last weekend former WBA junior-welterweight champion Vivian Harris has called out Britain's undefeated Ricky Hatton.
In n open letter to the WBA welterweight king from Manchester, England Harris said: "Hatton has made it clear that he is coming back to the junior welterweight division and who can blame him after my Brooklyn homeboy, Luis Collazo, nearly beheaded him in Boston?..
We can fight at 147, where you hold the WBA title, or at 140 or even in-between. The weight doesn't matter. I just hope you don't make me wait, lol.
Every week it seems there is another press release coming from promoters Dennis Hobson and Arthur Pellulo about how Hatton is being ducked and dodged by so many people. Let's make this crystal clear, I am not ducking Mr. Hatton.
I will fight you Ricky in Manchester, England, or Manchester, New Hampshire. The venue does not matter. I respect you but I want that title belt you have and, if you are the man I think you are and your fans in both the USA and the UK think you are, you will give a positive answer to my challenge.
If you think you are more vicious than me, you know what to do. Instruct Mr. Hobson and Mr. Pellulo to ring up Big Gary Shaw (Harris's promoter). They know his number. This would be a fight fan's dream matchup. Let's make it happen, Hatton!
