RICKY HATTON has revealed why he will never fight Junior Witter — an awards-do insult.


Hatton, 29, makes his light-welterweight comeback on May 24 against Juan Lazcano in Manchester after losing his unbeaten record to Floyd Mayweather.


The Hitman has been taunted for years by Witter who now holds the prestigious WBC world title. Hatton was ready to bow to the pressure until the Bradford switch-hitter put his foot in it.


Hatton said: “I was half contemplating fighting him but it all changed at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards in Birmingham.


“They got me up, Joe Calzaghe, Enzo Maccarinelli, Clinton Woods and Witter. We all walked to the stage and I shook hands with them all. Witter leaned over to me and whispered ‘One day.’


“I just thought, ‘You’ve just peed that up against the wall there.’ I really was thinking about getting in the ring with him.”


Witter, 34, defends his WBC belt against Tim Bradley in Nottingham on May 10.

what a pathetic coward

LMAO, so ALL Witter said was "One Day". No name calling, no taunting, no insults just the words "One Day". Hatton, don't do it to yourself.

I read 100 Articles already about Hatton don't want to fight Witter..

Hatton will fight him when Witter turns 38 years old.

Hatton will remain the Linear JWW, Ring, People's Champion and world famous, while Witter keeps fighting turds in front of his family.

Hatton will be fighting Lazcano in front of more fans than have seen all of Witters fights combined. Ricky will also make more $$$$ against Lazcano then Bitter-Witter has in his whole career...

Junior Witter.

If i was hatton i would have shut up by now with all the excuses, He just makes himself look pathetic/ridiculous with this now...Either maintain a silence or take the fight, Dont try to fool people by not taking the fight then trying to make us believe that the guy (Witter) isnt worthy of being in the ring with you when all you have done in 43 fights (apart from 2 fights) is fight bums after bums.
