Hatton allays health fears

Former light–welterweight world champion Ricky Hatton has allayed fears about his health as he ponders his next move.

The 30–year–old has yet to make a decision on his future following his crushing second–round knockout by Manny Pacquiao.

Hatton, recently released from hospital after a bad stomach bug, said: “I’m recharging the batteries with my family and what will happen (in the ring) will happen.

“The doctors just wanted to give me a basic MOT, on my heart, liver and lungs. I came through with flying colours – but I need to let my fans know not to panic.”
