FORMER WORLD CHAMPION Ricky Hatton is returning to the ring at the age of 43.
Hatton retired from boxing in 2012, his defeat to Vyacheslav Senchenko coming more than three years after his previous fight against Manny Pacquiao.
“I can confirm my return to the ring,” Hatton said on his personal Twitter account.
“Join me for a huge party night – with top music acts – in Manchester on July 2. It’s not how you fall, it’s how you rise…”
