"If we were both world champions I still don’t know if Hatton would face me, even though it would be the biggest fight in British Boxing history," Witter continued. "All the time he was with Warren, he was saying that a fight against me was in his contract and that he wanted it, but it never happened.
"Now he has left Warren and appears to be more in control of his own career it still isn’t happening. He has been looking for an opponent for his May 13th date for ages. I was offered to his American broadcasters HBO and I hear they approved me, but I have been told that Hatton’s team said no, even though I am his most credible contender.
"I am number four with the WBA, number three with the IBF and number one with both the WBO and WBC. There is nobody else in the top five of every recognised governing body. I was the natural choice, but instead of taking me on and giving everyone the fight they want to see, he is looking elsewhere, apparently even in the welterweight division. From what I hear there is a shortlist of three: Curly, Larry and Moe."
