BOXING: RICKY Hatton admits his return to the ring may be a one–off after confirming he will lace up the gloves again.
The popular Hyde ‘Hitman’ confirmed he will have at least one more bout before calling it a day.
The 31–year–old has not boxed since losing in two rounds to Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas last May but insists he will fight “a top–10 ranked pound–for–pound fighter or a world champion of some sort” this summer.
Possible opponents for the two-weight world champion include Juan Manuel Marquez and Amir Khan but Hatton himself suggested a rematch with Colombian IBF light–welterweight champion Juan Urango – whom he beat in 2007 – is a consideration.
