Hatton will make a comeback
It’s a comeback for Pride of Manchester Ricky Hatton after his promoter confirmed a fight between him and Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez next year.
Juan Manuel accepted the challenge and would love to come to Manchester as confirmed by Richard Schaefer, head of Golden Boy Promotions.
Marquez lost his bout to the returning Floyd Mayweather in September, getting himself outdone in 12 rounds while Hatton still licks his wounds after losing to Mayweather and experiencing a humiliating two-round KO by Filipino Manny Pacquiao, which is the world’s current welterweight champion, in May.
Marquez is a former world champion at featherweight, super-featherweight and lightweight, and a fight against Hatton would almost certainly take place at light-welterweight, Hatton’s natural division.
But his most recent appearance in a ring was against another Mexican in Chavo Guerrero, whom he ‘fought’ at a WWE wrestling show in Sheffield last weekend.
