Hatton Wants a De La Hoya or Marquez War To Finish

By Mark Vester

Ricky Hatton is currently in Australia on four day visit to attend a charity boxing show at the University of New South Wales' Roundhouse, promote his Cardio Boxer equipment and visit former rival Kostya Tszyu. He told local media that he wants to fight either Juan Manuel Marquez or Oscar De La Hoya in his final ring outing.

Hatton doesn't like the way he ended things with the May two-round KO loss to Manny Pacquiao. Win or lose, he wants to end his career in a war of a fight.

"The manner in which I ended my defeat (to Pacquiao) is not really the way I would like to bow out, I'd like to bow out like Kostya did in an absolute war of a fight, a wonderful fight with great sportsmanship," Hatton told reporters in Sydney on Thursday.
