    Ricky Hatton is to host a live weekly chat show on Nuts TV in the channel's highest profile commission to date.

    The 6 x 60-minute Ricky Speaks is made by Daisybeck Productions and will air in the run-up to Hatton's next fight against Paulie Malignaggi in Las Vegas.
    Hatton has performed as a stand-up comedian in the past and the series will showcase his irreverent humour, as well as his more serious side, following the launch of his Ricky Hatton Boxing Gym in Manchester.
    The format will include topical sports discussion, showbiz chat and insight into Hatton's training regime. The series will be co-hosted by former Talk Sport presenter Dom McGuiness and will be filmed at the Press Club in Manchester. It will also feature exclusive live links to Hatton in his Las Vegas training camp.
    Ricky Speaks is expected to draw an array of celebrity guests from the boxer's contacts book. A spokeswoman for the Turner Broadcasting-run channel said it hoped the boxer would be joined by some of his high-profile friends, including Liam and Noel Gallagher and footballer Wayne Rooney.
    Turner Broadcasting senior vice-president and general manager Dee Forbes said securing Hatton's services was testament to the quality of the channel.
    "He's the perfect fit for our audience who will be treated to a unique insight into the world of Ricky Hatton," said Forbes.

    The series will begin at the end of the month, with five of the six episodes airing on consecutive Sundays. The final episode will go out after the fight on 22 November

    It will probably be cringeworthy crap.

    Nah it will be great. No doubt he will do a few sketches and have great banter with many modern icons plus he may finish on a song.

    I think that's probably the attraction.

    Rickys starting to do my tits in with this stuff. It was in the paper the other day that Ricky has asked Noel Gallacher to carry his belt into the ring for his next fight and about how there such good mates. Why does he always have to name drop like this, could he not get his mates kid or someone to carry the belt in for him but instead he wants people to say "oh look rickys even mates with noel gallacher as well as wayne rooney, what a good guy"

    He has a handicap kid normally carry the belt into the ring, but he's not allowed to fly under doctors orders. So on the few ocasions Hatton has fought in the states he has had some one else do it ie Rooney in Vegas. It's not the Celtic team I know but...;) .

    i'm impressed with NUTS, think we're doing ok at the minute for boxing coverage in the uk (khan ppv aside). for the price of a freeview box and a tenner a month there's a fair amount to watch. admittedly this hatton show will be a self indulgent load of tripe but i'll still watch it!
