Tension is building towards the announcement of Ricky Hatton's next bout and who exactly Hatton will face. Conflicting reports are coming out of England with respect to his scheduled opponent for his next bout.
One report suggests that Hatton is in negotiations to face WBO 140 pound champion Miguel Cotto on June 10, other reports have Hatton moving up in weight to 147 to take on welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir on May 13 at Foxwoods Casino, in Connecticut.
Bob Arum, the promoter of Cotto has confirmed that talks have taken place, but it is not a done deal. The reports of the Baldomir bout have said an official press conference announcement is set for this coming Thursday.
