Comments Thread For: Ricky Hatton Set To Receive License Pending Medical Okay

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ricky Hatton will be granted a new boxing licence providing he successfully completes all parts of a medical, the British Boxing Board of Control have confirmed.

The former two-weight world champion, who turns 34 next month, retired three years ago but is set to relaunch his career at a press conference in Manchester on Friday.

Hatton, who has been crowned both light-welterweight and welterweight champion, attended a BBBoC meeting after shedding almost three stones in training this year.

BBBoC General Secretary Robert Smith said: "He [Hatton] came before the board yesterday.

"I'm not a doctor but once we get the medicals in our doctors will look at them. If they are fine they will be signed off. That's all we're waiting for. [Click Here To Read More]

This is a shame that fighters do not know that their time is up and they are no longer who they use to be. If they could not pull the trigger back then what makes them think they can do it now that they are over the hill. We have enough fraudulent fighters already, we don't need anymore.

I'm happy to see Ricky back in the game. Hopefully made a few adjustments to his game.

Ricky Hatton will bring back his fanbase.

If somebody is going to pay him a couple million dollars to beat the hell out of Paulie Malignaggi again, why not?

Fighting Paulie Malignaggi isn't exactly putting your life at risk.

It's Ricky's life and he can do what he likes with it.

At least he's not coming back because he's broke -- he's genuinely got the desire to box back again and gotten himself healthy and clean.

Good luck to him!

His fans always made for a great arena atmosphere.

My thoughts exactly.

Yep, can't see that he is coming back for the money although he will do well out of it.

I just hope he comes back and gets a few wins under his belt and retires on a high. Don't care who he fights, he had a great career so he has nothing to prove.

The main thing is that this comeback does not end like it did against Pac or his health could be in big danger. Stick him in with a few non punchers and let him retire on a win and happier memories.

I hope he does another big fight in Vegas, I want to experience that atmostphere first hand.

There's going to be a Pacquiao rematch.

I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I was a big fan of his. It would be awesome to see him fight again but, I'm a little worried about him getting hurt.
