Hatton: It isn’t there any more

“I had to find out if I could mix it at world level and I got my answer. I can’t,” said former world champion Ricky Hatton, who announced his retirement after his KO loss to Vyacheslav Senchenko. “I needed one more fight to see if I had still got it – and I haven’t. I couldn’t have done any better. A fighter knows, and I know it isn’t there any more. I’ve got to be a man and say it’s the end of Ricky Hatton!”
