YouTube star hails "legend" Ricky Hatton ahead of exhibition comeback

Ricky Hatton Viddal Riley Marco Antonio Barrera Manny Pacquiao Manchester

Viddal Riley is excited to feature on the same card as "legend" Ricky Hatton ahead of his exhibition return this Saturday night.

Hatton last fought in 2012 when he elected to hang up his gloves as a professional following defeat to Vyacheslav Senchenko after a hugely successful career where he reigned as two-weight world champion. Now he will return to the ring for the first time in his hometown AO Arena in Manchester, where he touches gloves with Mexican veteran Marco Antonio Barrera.

The card will be preceded by a stacked BOXXER bill featuring some of Britain's brightest young talent including YouTube star Iley who is campaigning at cruiserweight. And ahead of his own fight with Ross McGuigan, Riley is excited at receiving the opportunity to showcase his skills on another high-profile card.
