Hatton, who always struggled with weight issues and in recent times admitted to suffering from a cocaine addiction and depression, is now a promoter and trainer but it has been suggested that the 33-year-old will make a comeback later this year.
The Daily Star claims that he has lost 34lbs since returning to training and, in the coming weeks, will announce his old rival Paul Malignaggi as his opponent for a fight in November.
