Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton (43-1, 31 KOs) performed a media workout at his gym in Denton, Manchester today. All eyes were on his fitness after reports this week in the UK press that the IBO jr-welterweight champion was suffering from a chest infection and required antibiotics in the build up to the end of his training. He looked in superb shape and check-weighed 146 pounds with eight days left to the weigh-in. He performed several rounds on the "body bag" with trainer Billy Graham and completed a thirty minute run on the running machine. He confirmed to the watching press that the infection happened several weeks ago and after a course of medication he had received clearance from his doctor. After the workout, the 29-year-old two division champion took time out to talk to Fightnews.com about his upcoming fight. (More)
