Ricky Hatton held nothing back when he recently spoke about his UK rival, Junior Witter. For the last few years, Witter has been chasing after Hatton. The two waged war in the UK media for years, but Hatton has stopped responding to Witter's remarks over the last twelve months. That has not stopped Witter from continuing the chase.

Hatton told hundreds of his fans at a recent theatre show that Witter is not a big enough star to lure him into a future fight.

“What an absolute d**khead. He keeps saying, ‘I’ll knock Ricky out, I’ll do this to him and I’ll do that’. But he can’t give tickets away. Every time he fights there is no one there," Hatton was quoted as saying by The Sun .

"I went to watch one of his big fights and in the fourth round I turned round and said to the bloke sat nearest to me . . . ‘OI, MATE!’ I had to shout because he was 200 yards away. Then another fella tapped me on the shoulder and asked ‘Are you staying until the end?’ I said ‘Yeah’. And he said, ‘Well, here are the keys, make sure you lock up!’”
