MAYWEATHER PLANNING A TUNE-UP IN ENGLAND?
by Felix Strunk
this is just part of the article:
"In fact, at one point, Mayweather himself was seriously considering a bout in England as an option. “My ultimate goal is to fight in the UK eventually. That’s always been one of my dreams to come over to the UK to display my skills and display my talent for the fans all around the world, but especially for the fans in the UK,” Mayweather stated during a Sky Sports interview in November of 2009. When asked about the possibility of going on a world tour and fighting in different countries, Mayweather continued, “I’m talking with my team about that. That’s in the future, absolutely.”
So here we are, roughly a year later, and again Mayweather is bringing up the UK. Granted, he never said he would actually be fighting in England, so hopefully, Mayweather is simply referring to his next shopping spree as opposed to his next bout. However, if he does plan on fighting Pacquiao in 2011, it’s doubtful that he’ll want to do it without first shaking off some rust. Should he indeed be eyeing a tune-up in England, don’t be surprised if it’s Matthew Hatton standing in the ring across from him. After all, Hatton was just crowned the European Welterweight Champion, so it’s perfectly understandable that Mayweather would first like to test the waters against Europe’s best welterweight before building up the nerve to face the best welterweight in the world."
