Reports coming out of England state that a deal to match Jr. Welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu against undefeated Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton is almost a done deal. The bout is tentatively scheduled for March 5, 2005 at Manchester's MEN Arena. Hatton is facing Ray Oliveira in London on December 11. Tszyu is not taking any bout prior to the Hatton bout, Tszyu only wants big money fights. [details]

20,000 + including myself will pack the MEN to see Hatton become a God amongst men. Good to see Warren is willing to pay the champion what he's worth to travel to Manchester for this title fight. Can't Wait!!

Hope KT does not take this fight
1. Hatton has not earned it in my mind
2. If KT wins Hatton will be an all hype fighter (which is actually kind of true) and KT will get no credit like he would with say
Spinks or PBF. IF its a good fight then RH will be a legit defense nothing more.
In other words i think there are bigger fights out there.
By the way first thing i thought when i read this is
"another BS promotional thing that is nowhere near ready"
but on the other hand they are both Showtime fighters
so it sounds possible.
