Ricky Hatton Quits Boxing

In his 31 years in life, Ricky Hatton has proven to the world of boxing that he’s indeed great. In his career he has become a two-time IBF and IBO light welterweight champion. Aside from that, he has become the former WBU, WBA Light Welterweight Champion and WBC, WBA, WBO Inter-Continental Light Welterweight Champion, and former Ring magazine Junior Welterweight Champion.

Hatton has told BBB Radio Manchester: “You can never say never, but if I was to put my last pound on it I would say ‘no, I think that’s me done’.” This clearly means that he won’t be having any fights yet. Hatton has told his fans that he would be fighting again before but eventually after he went back to training, he realized that everything wasn’t the same anymore.

However he renewed his license just in case he wants to change his mind. As of now, Hatton fans would just wait it to happen. He has never fought again after he was defeated by Manny Pacquiao way back May 2009. Before that one he defeated Juan Lazcano at the City of Manchester Stadium in May 2008, and went on to defeat Pauli Malignaggi in Las Vegas six months later.

Hatton’s decision might be final for now but who knows he might change his mind in the near future. Let’s all going to watch for it.
