Hatton In Action
Ricky Hatton v Paulie Malignaggi - 23rd November
Ricky Hatton will take on American Paulie Malignaggi later this year in Las Vegas for the IBF light-welterweight title - 23rd November Bet now
Ricky Hatton v Juan Lazcano
Ricky Hatton will be looking to bounce back from the first defeat of his career last time out when he faces Mexican hitman Juan Lazcano in Manchester on Saturday.
Hatton's runs of 43 straight wins came to an end in December when he was knocked out in the 10th by Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas. He's back at Light Welterweight for this one but faces a challenger with a decent 37/42 professional record and is a former WBF Lightweight Title Holder.
The bookies make this a no contest and the Hitman is a best priced 1/9 to make it 44 wins from 45 career bouts. Much of the pre-fight attention has focused around his next possible opponent, Paulie Malignaggi, but don't rule out Lazcano: he has decent power and a KO record of 27/37.
