Ricky Hatton inspired by Tyson Fury's comeback as confirms return to boxing aged 43

Ricky Hatton has opened up on why he will return to boxing aged 43 - almost 10 years after his last fight after he was inspired by Tyson Fury's comeback.

Hatton had trained Tyson Fury in recent years, being in his corner for his comeback fights, and has revealed that like Fury, he battled with depression and drew on similarities between their experiences - saying the Gypsy King found himself in a 'very dark place' after winning the world title against Wladimir Klitschko.

The Manchester legend compared that feeling to with what he suffered with after his first professional loss to Floyd Mayweather in December 2007, which had begun a dark period in his life when he suffered with depression and lead to a drinking problem.
