Boxing: Hatton To Retire At 30?

by Kris on December 5th, 2007

According to a report by Yahoo! Sports which cites Ricky Hatton’s mother the boxer may retire next year after his 30th birthday:

Ricky Hatton’s mother revealed on Wednesday that the boxer has made a “pact” with his family to quit boxing after he turns 30 next year.

There is already talk of a Wembley showdown with Oscar de la Hoya should Hatton upset the odds in the early hours of Sunday morning.

It is thought trainer Billy Graham is keen for Hatton to retire shortly after turning 30 and mother Carol wants her son to hang up his gloves before he gets “hurt.”

Hatton takes on Floryd Mayweather Jr. this weekend for the WBC Welterweight Crown and it appears a fight against Oscar De La Hoya could be on the horizon before he retires.
