Hatton Dumps Title, Castillo Talks Restart

[SMC]

Ricky Hatton has relinquished the WBA welterweight title he claimed from Luis Collazo in May.
Hatton now has the chance to fight Jose Luis Castillo in a light-welterweight bout planned for early next year.

Before that, the Manchester fighter will be looking to win back his IBF crown from Juan Urango on 9 December.

"We're after Ricky's old title. But the defining fight we want is the one against Castillo," said Hatton's promoter Dennis Hobson.

Hobson added: "We have already opened talks with Castillo's promoter Bob Arum and we are confident we can make that fight for around April time. Ricky is in a very lucrative position at the moment."

Hatton gave up his IBF light-welterweight title in April, which he won by beating Kostya Tszyu, in order to move up a division.

The 27-year-old is expected to win back his old crown and set up a potentially lucrative contest against Castillo.

Hatton Dumps Title, Castillo Talks Restart

It appears to be official, AFP reports that Ricky Hatton has dumped the WBA welterweight title he won from Luis Collazo in May. The now vacant title could be up for grabs when Miguel Cotto meets Oktay Urkal on a December 2 card on the Showtime Network. Hatton said that his main reason for dumping the title and moving back down to 140 pounds is to set up a megabout with Jose Luis Castillo in April 2007. [details]

I think he's serious but I don't think he wants to be. Castillo may be the toughest guy in the sport.
