Undefeated Ricky Hatton is making moves to make sure everything is perfect for his return to the junior welterweight division when he takes on Juan Urango for the IBF title on January 20, in a what will be Hatton's debut in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Hatton tells the UK Times Online that he is meeting up with former champ Wayne McCullough when he heads down to Las Vegas. McCullough lives in Vegas and has offered Hatton his private gym as a training base.

McCullough will not be his only friend in the States, Hatton said that over 2,000 of his UK fans have requested tickets in order to make the trip across the ocean to support him.
