Ricky Hatton will take on Marco Antonio Barrera in an exhibition bout for charity on July 2.
The British boxing icon, now 43, will return to the ring for the first time since 2012 when he was stopped by Vyacheslav Senchenko following a three-year retirement. But the eight-round bout with Barrera will not be scored and no winner will be announced.
Barrera, 48, has not fought since he beat Jose Arias in 2011, two years after the Mexican was beaten by Amir Khan. Barrera held world titles in three weight divisions during the prime of his career and is revered for his epic trilogy with fellow countryman Erik Morales, as well as his two fights with Manny Pacquiao.
