    According to another boxing website Ricky Hatton's younger brother Matthew could fight on the undercard of the Mayweather bout on Dec 8th in Las Vegas.

    The Manager of IBO Welterweight Champion Isaac Hlatshwayo is trying to set up the fight and is said to have already met with promoters.

    Ricky is expected to vacate the IBO Junior Welterweight Title which would allow his brother to fight for the crown and try to keep it in the family.

    Not really that interesting. Matthew unfortunately is in his brothers shadow and doesnt have a freaction of his talent. Anyway how can he fight for the IBO 140 title when his always fought at 47?

    I don't really enjoy watching M Hatton fight and he seems to be on all Ricky's undercards. I was hoping Sky would put a UK show out first with Witter as the main event. Any one know if this is likely?

    Who cares about the IBO title. It would just be a good match up. Hatton isn't any good anyway, so its boring.

    Who cares.

    He is Rickys brother so he could be making serious moves.

    I'm not saying every fighter has to be world class or even European BUT if that is the case then at least make a good domestic campaign.

    These fighters that have no direction should be ignored. This is why I don't care about Sergio Mora but I'll pay attention to Manfredo.

    Matthew Hatton seems to always be fighting on the Ricky Hatton undercards, Matthew has okay skills, but generally his fights tend to be long and drawn out and not much chance of a quick ending. Which goes to show it's not what you know, but who..... It's probably written into Ricky's contract that brother Matthew fights on the undercard each and every time he steps into the ring. That's brotherly love for you!!

    You asked and I responded and then I justified why I didn't respond like you wanted.
