British boxer Ricky Hatton (L) sits next to promoter Richard Schaeffer (C) as he speaks at a press conference in Manchester, North West England yesterday, ahead of the defense of his IBO and Light-Welterweight titles when he fights US boxer Paulie Malignaggi (R) at the MGM Grand Garden, Las Vegas on November 22.
Early this week during another press conference “The Hitman” was a no show, Malignaggi, by default, was the center of attention, with the missing Hitman suddenly ill from unknown complications.
“We don’t know what the problem is,” said Gareth Williams, representing Team Hatton. “We came in last night, had some food, and then he got sick. When he’s eating burger, chips and beer, he’s fine.” Just like Ricardo Mayorga, Hatton loves to drink during training camp lets just hope it was a hang over and noting serious, by the look of this picture, taken yesterday Hatton doesn’t look ok.
