Come on in Ricky Hatton your time is up..

At the minute, I don't feel like fighting again but after I've had a little break and an unwind, a couple of holidays, then who knows, I could probably change my mind,” he said.

Hatton recently opened a health and fitness center in Manchester. He hopes his center could become a chain. He is currently on a theatre tour for his show, “An Evening with Ricky Hatton.”

He has also been promoting fights, although he disclosed, “It's still quite hard for me to be around boxing at the minute, even just promoting shows.”
“I did a show in Portsmouth recently where there was one lad who got knocked out and it sent a shiver down my spine.”

"The Pacquiao defeat is still very much fresh in my mind,” Hatton remarked. “But time is a great healer and maybe further down the line, I'll decide to jump in the ring again.”
"At the minute, it's proving a little hard because that was a devastating defeat for me to say the least.”

With all the success and the happy times you've had, the hardest thing is to say bye to it all,” “I'll always be in boxing in some way, shape or form, but as far as the actual fighting goes, I'm just recharging my batteries and mulling everything over in my mind and I'll make a decision when I'm ready,” he added.

“I knew I was pretty good when I started out and could do quite well at the game,” he said.

“But when you think that I've won four world titles now, the IBF twice, WBA welterweight and light welterweight, the IBO and WBU as well as having the biggest post-war crowd at Manchester City stadium, I realize how much I've done in my career.”

 

If you don't have any self belief at your chosen career then you'll never get to the top.
