Boxing legend Ricky Hatton has sent shockwaves through the sporting world by announcing his sensational return to the ring in Las Vegas, while simultaneously revealing his ultimate dream: to walk out with his beloved Manchester City at the Champions League final.
The Vegas Comeback: One Last Dance
In an emotional and exclusive interview, the 45-year-old Manchester icon confessed he's planning one final professional fight in the city that made him a global superstar. "I'm going to have one more fight, in Las Vegas," Hatton declared, his voice filled with determination. "It's where I had some of my greatest nights."
The Hitman's legendary battles in Vegas against boxing greats like Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao cemented his status as Britain's most beloved fighter of his generation. Now, he wants to create one last unforgettable memory in the fight capital of the world.
A Father's Pride: Watching Campbell's Rise
While planning his own comeback, Hatton beams with paternal pride when discussing his son Campbell's burgeoning career. "To see my son walking out at the AO Arena, following in my footsteps... it brings a tear to my eye," the emotional father revealed.
Campbell Hatton, now 23, has carved his own path in the sport under his father's expert guidance, recently securing the WBC International Silver super-lightweight title in a thrilling Manchester showdown.
The Ultimate Manchester City Dream
Perhaps the most heartfelt revelation came when Hatton discussed his other great love: Manchester City. The lifelong fan, often seen celebrating wildly with fellow City supporter Liam Gallagher, confessed his ultimate sporting fantasy.
"If City get to the Champions League final, I'd love to walk out with the team," Hatton revealed, his passion for the club shining through. "To walk out with the lads at the Champions League final would be a dream come true."
From Dark Days to Bright Future
Hatton spoke candidly about his well-documented struggles with mental health after retiring from boxing. "I went through some dark times," he admitted. "But boxing saved me once, and it's saving me again."
Now, with his health restored and passion reignited, the boxing hero is looking toward a future filled with promise - both in the ring he never truly left, and in the stadium where his heart has always belonged.
