Ricky Hatton began his Las Vegas adventure by beating Colombian Juan Urango on a unanimous points verdict on this day in 2007 to claim the IBF light-welterweight title.
It was the first of five trips to Sin City for Hatton and, although he would lose two of those bouts and with them his unbeaten record, it served as a career-defining run for the Mancunian as he helped reignite a faded boxing scene in Vegas.
