Hatton is gay.. he doesnt like pussies.

By ANDY RUSSELL WORLD champion boxer Ricky Hatton yesterday revealed his biggest fear — pussycats. The light welterweight, dubbed the Hitman, admitted he would rather face Tyson than Tiddles. Hatton, 27, said he even changes the route of his training run to avoid cats. The Hitman, who earlier this year claimed the IBF world title from Kosta Tsyzu, said his phobia stems from being scratched down his face by a cat as a baby. He added: “I have been frightened of them ever since. The sight of them still makes me feel a bit ill. “There is an alleyway I cut down on my training runs, but a few times I have reached it and seen a couple of cats down there and ran on for an extra half a mile just to avoid them.” Hatton, from Glossop, Greater Manchester, is due to fight WBA champ Carlos Maussa in Sheffield on November 26.
