Ricky Hatton has warned UFC star Paddy Pimblett that his eating habits will eventually catch up to him during his fighting career.
Pimblett is a self-declared 'foodie' who is known for piling on a lot of weight after his bouts. 'The Baddy' weighed in at 145lb for his most recent win, but just two weeks later he stepped on the scale at over 200lb after indulging on junk food.
Hatton was nicknamed 'Fatton' during his accomplished boxing career because, like Pimblett, he would pile on the pounds outside of training camp. The ring legend, who fights for the first time in almost a decade on July 2 against Marco Antonio Barrera, has advised Pimblett to not follow in his footsteps.
