Manchester trainer Bob Shannon has moved to Ricky Hatton’s Hyde gym.  The hugely respected trainer works with a number of Hatton’s boxers.  Shannon has told The Daily Star that he hopes the gym link-up will give his fighters every possible chance of success.

“I’m delighted with the move,” confirmed Shannon.  “Not only can I continue to offer my fighters my boxing knowledge and expertise but I can now do it in a modern gym with world class facilities.  I have high hopes for my fighters and expect Andy Morris, Denton Vassell, Jonny Rocco, David Barnes and Prince Aaron to be challenging for titles at some point this year.”
