Ricky Hatton offers to spar "k***" Jake Paul ahead of legend's return to ring

Ricky Hatton would be open to sparring with Jake Paul but admitted he would pass up getting in the ring with strongman Eddie Hall.

Hatton fights for the first time in almost a decade on July 2 when he challenges fellow legend Marco Antonio Barrera in an exhibition bout. 'The Hitman' insists the fight is a one-off and won't be the start of a comeback.

A lot has changed since Hatton's last professional fight in 2012, with YouTube personalities becoming some of the most talked-about names in boxing. Hatton is unsure if fighters like Paul and KSI are good for boxing, but admits the sport has to keep up with the times.
