Ricky Hatton has shared his verdict on the problems within the heavyweight division.
The former two-weight world champion was quizzed for his thoughts on boxing’s big-money division after talks between Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte appeared to hit another stumbling block. ‘AJ’ is targeting a fight in August and Eddie Hearn confirmed that an offer had been made to Whyte but suggested that an agreement was unlikely.
Whyte responded by stating that he was willing to agree to the fight but hit back at the inclusion of a rematch clause and various other contract terms with Whyte pointing to Joshua’s proposed fight with Deontay Wilder in December as a possible explanation. This has forced Hatton to question where the real issue lies among the two heavyweights.
