Ricky Hatton shows off weight loss and admits: "I never thought I'd be here again"

Ricky Hatton showed off his incredible weight loss on social media and admitted he didn't think it was possible.

The former world champion will return to the ring against Marco Antonio Barrera in Manchester in July 2. The fight will be an exhibition bout for charity held over eight rounds but with no score kept and no winner announced.

But despite the nature of the bout, Hatton has been training hard ahead of his first outing since he was beaten by Vyacheslav Senchenko in 2012. And he took to social media to show off his weight loss and said: "Never thought I'd get here again. Well I have. The bad days don't last forever, only you can change it and change it you can, Positive stuff, every day, you can do it."
