LONDON (Reuters) - Floyd Mayather Jr. will come out of his short-lived retirement to take on Britain's Ricky Hatton in a welterweight "super-fight", the British boxer's father Ray said on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old Hatton is expected to move up a division from light welterweight for the bout which will probably be staged on December 8 in Las Vegas where he beat Jose Luis Castillo in June to retain his IBO title.
"The contract provided what we wanted and we are officially signed up and our lawyers have told us that the Mayweather camp have also signed," Ray Hatton was quoted as saying by the BBC. The boxer's father said victory for his son could represent the greatest achievement in boxing history.
"Ricky is not only fighting the fella on his own turf -- Las Vegas -- but he is fighting at the time the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet," he said.
"If he could do it, it would be the biggest achievement in boxing, going down whatever years you want to go down."
Hatton himself said he was respectful of his potential opponent and the timing of the fight was perfect.
"He's a true world champion, the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and has won world titles at five different weights," the English fighter told Sky Sports News.
"You can't get bigger than that. He's come off that fantastic win against (Oscar) De La Hoya so there's no better time to face him. He's in his prime, I'm in my prime.
