Hatton To Get MBE

[SMC]

Ricky Hatton is to recieve a MBE from the queen in the new years honours list..

Hatton, 28, gave up his IBF and WBA light welterweight titles to win the WBA welterweight crown in May and is now unbeaten with 30 KOs from 41 fights.

"When I first laced on the gloves, I never thought I would become a world champion, let alone receive an MBE from the Queen," said Hatton. "It came as a great surprise."

Obviously you didn't read the link; Hatton's a 'member' not a knight.
