    HATTON Promotions have shown their ambition by winning the purse bids for two eagerly anticipated domestic title fights.
    They have won the bids for Gary Sykes’s British super-featherweight championship defence against Gary Buckland and Anthony Crolla’s British lightweight title showdown against Scottish ace Willie Limond.
    The dates and venue are still to be confirmed, but will be staged on top class promotions televised by Sky Sports later this year.
    Hatton Promotions hard-hitting Welshman Buckland is delighted to get his chance against Yorkshireman Sykes.
    The pair met last year in a Prizefighter tournament which Buckland won, and knocked out Sykes inside 45 seconds of their semi-final.
    Buckland, 25, is in red hot form and became one of the few Britons to win in Mexico last month, outpointing Jose Roberto Gonzalez.
    Hatton Promotions President Ricky Hatton said: “I am delighted that we have won the bids for two quality contests.

    Hattons are pushing the boat out and must be splashing the cash to get these purse bids with so few sky dates and bankrolling non tv shows such as Quigg eliminator and Watson Purdy. Though their close ties to Goldenboy will serve them well in the future. Looks like they can send their fighters over as opponents for world title fights.

    We appreciate that, thanks

    We've taken on a news writer so there's stuff on a daily basis.

    Even managed to get in with Sauerland! :D

    As I've said before, when the contracts are up they shouldn't offer anyone a guaranteed amount of dates.

    Tell all British promoters (including Hennessy, Fearon etc) that we have 40 dates to fill so what can you offer us? So everyone will compete to put on the best cards possible.
