Former two-division champion has once again spoken out about a possible return in 2010. He told Steve Bunce of The Mirror that a final decision has not been made but his mind is leaning in the direction of a mid-year return.
"I've not made my mind up for certain but it looks like I will fight again next year," said Hatton. "I've heard a lot and read a lot of speculation about my future and I have to admit there are some great fights out there. I've enjoyed my time off from fighting and the promoting has been brilliant. People told me that I would get the itch when I was at ringside at my own shows and they were right!"
The main opponent Hatton spoke about was WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan. Hatton would like to make that fight but he's not sure if Khan would be the opponent for his first fight back since the two-round TKO loss to Manny Pacquiao back in May.
"A fight against Amir would be an enormous fight for everybody in the boxing business, but I would have to be one of the promoters," said Hatton. "I know that Amir would take the fight and it is something that I have talked about - it's a long way off, but it could happen. Amir has his own promotional company now and that is all that would be needed to make that fight happen."
