Ricky Hatton is making moves to secure his future in the sport. Knowing his time in the ring is almost over, Hatton is starting to build up his promotional company, Hatton Promotions. It been revealed that Hatton is going to welterweight prospect Ben Wakeham (4-0, 1KOs) of South Devon.
Wakeham, 20, and his trainer Paul Guy will travel to Hatton's new gym in Manchester on Monday to sign the contract. His next fight, under Hatton's company, will take place in Portsmouth on June 22.
"The possibility of joining Hatton Promotions was always on the cards once Ben had obtained his release, so we've kept the Hatton people up to speed by sending them DVDs of Ben in action. They've been suitably impressed enough to take him on, and we're more than happy to be fighting under the Ricky Hatton banner. If anyone can make doors open, it's got to be Hatton Promotions," Guy told thisissouthdevon.
