Ricky Hatton rolls back the years as he returns to the ring against Marco Antonio Barrera
Ricky Hatton claimed his exhibition fight against Marco Antonio Barrera was 'one of the best' things he has done in boxing.
Two of those losses came against the legendary figures of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, with Hatton a key protagonist in the world of boxing during the late noughties. His only other defeat came against Vyacheslav Senchenko in his last professional fight. The exhibition was originally scheduled for July but an injury to Hughie Fury - who was fighting on the same bill - delayed it, but that didn’t stop the punters from coming out in their droves on Saturday night. The scene of so many of his famous nights, Hatton rolled back the years in front of a packed-out AO Manchester Arena.
Both men traded meaty punches throughout the bout, although a stoppage never looked likely. And so after eight rounds of boxing, referee Mickey Vann raised the hands of both men just moments after they had embraced following the final bell.
