Current WBA welterweight champion Ricky Hatton, was mugged while vacationing in China. The UK Mirror reports that a gang of thugs confronted Hatton on the street and robbed him for a rolex watch worth thousands.
Hatton had been out with friends and was on his way back to his hotel in Shanghai when he was confonted by the men.
"There was a scuffle. He was pretty scared but did the sensible thing by not trying to fight his way out. Whenever he goes abroad he usually wears a cheap plastic watch but on this occasion he forgot it. Ricky is a bit embarrassed because he knows that he should have stayed with his mates and not been walking the streets alone," said Hatton's agent Paul Speak.
