During a recent interview with UK media outlet  The Voice , IBF junior welterweight champ Lovemore Ndou unleashed a verbal blast on unbeaten Ricky Hatton. Ndou claims that Hatton is ducking him by agreeing to face Jose Luis Castillo in June, and also called the UK star an overweight one-dimensional fighter.

"Why do you think he chose to hand over the title rather than let me fight him for it? He knows he would get his ass whipped, simple as that. Instead he chose to fight Castillo who, just like him, is on the slide, Ndou said. "Fatton’s people know that I’m capable of doing more damage to that beer-belly than Castillo would at this time of his career. And truth is, if the Castillo that fought Corrales shows up that night, he is capable of punching Fatton through the ropes.”
