Ricky Hatton has denied that his comeback fight against Marco Antonio Barrera will be moved to a new date after the Sky Sports portion of the evening fell apart.
Hatton had dropped over 40lb to prepare for his return to the ring, which was set to take place after a separate card promoted by BOXXER on July 2 at the AO Arena in Manchester. But the headliner of the Sky Sports portion of the card has been pulled after Hughie Fury was forced to withdraw from his fight with Michael Hunter.
The BOXXER show is set to be rescheduled for a new date, and while it is expected that Hatton's fight will also need to be rearranged, the boxer has claimed no decision has been made yet. Ticket holders for the Fury portion of the event have been told their tickets will remain valid if they don't choose to avail of a refund.
