Ricky Hatton's boxing bandwagon will roll back into Bristol for a third time this summer.

IBO light-welterweight king Hatton, who has already staged two professional boxing shows at the city centre Marriott Hotel, has announced plans to promote at the same venue on Saturday, June 13.

'The Hitman' is personally guaranteeing West fight fans another fantastic event.

A sell-out Marriott audience saw local hero Danny Butler defeat Devon's Carl Drake to claim the vacant Western Area middleweight championship on Saturday.

A six-fight undercard proved equally entertaining as Hatton put his stable of young boxers through a demanding work-out.

'The Hitman' says he is committed to providing his loyal fan-base real value as the recession bites.

He said: "I don't like shows where there are lots of mismatches. It's not good for the boxers and it's not good for the paying public. Every fight (on Saturday's bill) was competitive and all the boxers were well matched.

"There was never any real danger that any of our young prospects would lose, but they all had difficult fights and were made to work hard.

"I feel passionately about giving value for money and the next show in June should be just as good if not better."

Although Butler comfortably out-pointed the game Drake and now boasts 16 wins in 17 paid outings, he will not be hurried into British title contention.

Currently rated 19th in the domestic middleweight rankings, he has time on his side.

"Danny is still in his early 20s and is still a novice professional learning the ropes," reasoned Hatton.

"He's improving with every fight but still has a lot to learn and work on. It was a good performance (against Drake), but he could have got it finished earlier had he been a bit calmer and boxed with more control.

"He definitely has a bright future and the last thing we want is to rush him."

Butler is expected to defend his British Masters title on the June 13 show, which will be staged by Hatton Promotions in association with Jane Couch. Ticket details have yet to be released.
