Radio and tv have this morning been talking about a almost done deal between the camps of Zoo and Hatton for a March/april showdown in wait for it.......Manchester.
Money apparently looks like £2 million for Zoo to come and bring the belt to defend in Manchester and £500,000 for Hatton (taking a much smaller amount than he usually gets) to have a pop at the belt on home soil.
Warren revealed that outside of the heavyweight division he has never known about a fighter getting more to come to the UK to fight, the exception being Tyson about 4 years ago.
Absolute bs. I think tszyu wants to fight Hatton but not in England. I mean why should he, after all he is the champ. I could see Tszyu's next fight either being in Russia against Harris as unlikely as it sounds. I just think that Kostya really wants to fight the winner of Spinks vs Judah and that in the meantime he will take a fight against someone who is willing to go to someone elses backyard and that man is Vivian Harris. Just a gut feeling.
Just like he came to Manchester to face Hatton?

I don't care where the fight happens as long as it does happen. I am very sceptical that it will take place in the UK though purely because Tszyu didn't seem to like that idea in a recent interview.
