From Boxing Monthly, November 2005:
"I don't want to be in the papers slagging Frank off, I used to genuinely like him until the trust went out of the window around the Ray Oliveira fight. But I know the truth will come out in court."
This is the first time a real date - to my knowledge - has been put around the breakdown of the relationship. Hatton fought Oliveira in December of last year, in a fight where Oliveira - while already past his prime - was irrevocably tarnished. Though he showed lots of heart throughout the fight, he willingly gave up after being dropped with a punctured eardrum in the tenth.
