RICKY HATTON has refused to rule out a return to the ring after renewing his boxing ­licence.

Manchester’s former two-weight world champion has to yet to confirm if he will hang up his gloves or box on following his second-round knockout by Filipino Manny Pacquiao 14 months ago.

Hatton, 31, has since been busy ­promoting but has taken steps to ­ensure he can continue his ring ­career if he decides to.

He said: “I haven’t announced my retirement. Floyd Mayweather Jnr was retired for nearly two years not long ago and he made a successful comeback.

“It is only 14 months for me. I have renewed my boxing licence again with the British Boxing Board of Control in case I decide to box on.

“I have an open mind really, but ­promoting is keeping me busy.

“I enjoy seeing all my lads win ­titles, none more so than my brother Matthew.”

Hatton, whose only defeats in a 12-year career were against superstars Pacquiao and Mayweather Jnr, has previously said he would like to end his career with “an absolute war of a fight”.

He overcame Australian Kostya Tszyu in June 2005 and after his KO by the Pacman, said: “The manner in which I ended my fight to Manny is not really the way I would like to bow out.

“I’d like to bow out like Tszyu did in an absolute war of a fight, a wonderful fight with great sportsmanship.”

British fight fans would drool over the prospect of a showdown with Bolton’s WBA world light-welterweight champ Amir Khan.

But Khan has told Hatton he should call time on his career.

“He has had a great career and has only been beaten by the best two fighters in the world,” he said.

“He will always be known as a great fighter and he’s made enough money. Ricky should relax and chill out.”

I heard he owes GBP another fight on his contract, plus his deal with Sky for his promotions is running out - he maybe having to give them another fight(s) in order to secure a new deal. sleep.gif

If Hatton fights again then he will get hurt,imo.

Please stay retired.

PBF was retired for 2 years, but he is not and never will be a fat drunkard in between fights.

True Hatton was/is human garbage, a talentless, little English piece of genettic rif raf. But Calzaghe is a good fighter with a terrible resume who has never really been hyped on a scale as
Hatton.
