LONDON: Former welterweight and light-welterweight world champion Ricky Hatton has announced his retirement, sooner than most had expected, at the age of 32. He has not fought since he suffered a crushing IBO light-welterweight world title defeat at the hands of Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas two years ago. Hatton’s only other defeat in his 47-fight career came against Floyd Mayweather Junior in 2007. He lost his license to box professionally after facing allegations in 2010 over use of cocaine.
