Meet Hatton and back Butler in Bristol

Ricky Hatton flies back from a family holiday this week where he has been considering his future and will be heading for Bristol for Saturday’s Hatton Promotions show at the Marriott City Centre Hotel.

The Hitman has promised an announcement soon about whether or not he will continue to fight following his second-round knockout defeat by Manny Pacquiao last month and he will be attending a VIP reception for fans in Bristol before watching the boxing.

Bristol’s Danny Butler will be topping the bill against Matt Scriven in a warm up for his English title challenge in the Autumn. His stablemate Pete Leworthy features in the chief supporting contest against Latvia’s Pavels Senkovs at super featherweight over four rounds.

The rest of the bill is:

Martin Robins v Chris Brophy - Light middleweight (6x2)

Brock Cato v Peter McCauley - Light middleweight (6x2)

Damian Owen v Jason Nesbitt - Lightweight (4x3)

The show will also be filmed and shown on the official Hatton website, www.hattonboxing.tv

Tickets are available now for the VIP reception with Ricky Hatton: £75 including buffet & ringside seat. Boxing only; £45 seated & £35 standing. Call: 07792 506546
