Hitman Hatton Back In the Gym

IBO junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton is back in the gym after returning to his hometown of Manchester, England following a two-week safari in South Africa. Things are on target for the Hitman's return on May 24 at the City of Manchester Stadium, possibly in the early morning hours to accomodate US TV. The Manchester Evening News is reporting that Team Hatton has narrowed it down to a shortlist of four potential opponents. "As for Ricky's opponent, there have been Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans and Brits looking to challenge him. That's all I want to say about it at the moment," Ricky's father and manager Ray Hatton most likely has an opponent for his son, but will not release any details on who it is.
