Ricky Hatton Announces Retirement

Former welterweight and light-welterweight world champion, Ricky Hatton has announced his retirement at the age of 32.

He has not fought since he suffered a crushing IBO light-welterweight world title defeat at the hands of Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas in 2009.

Hatton’s only other defeat in his 47-fight career came against Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2007.

He lost his licence after allegations in 2010 about use of cocaine.
