Ricky Hatton is being mistaken for his son after his dramatic weight loss transformation ahead of his boxing comeback this summer. Hatton, 43, has not fought since 2012, which even then he had come back from his original 2009 retirement after being knocked out by Manny Pacquiao.
Hatton is now fully into his training camp ahead of his July 2 exhibition bout with Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera in Manchester and has been pictured training, looking considerably lighter than he has in recent years - with some even mistaking him for his son, Campbell Hatton.
The Manchester fighter has admitted that the his motivation to comeback was enhanced after seeing former fighters do the same in exhibition bouts over the last 18 months. Fighters returning to the ring has become somewhat of a trend over the past few years, with Mike Tyson fighting Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
