Hatton Ready For Malignaggi

Ricky HattonLAS VEGAS (October 23) - Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton has made his way to the United States, landing in Las Vegas late last week as he continues preparations for his November 22 Ring Magazine World Junior Welterweight Championship bout against New York’s Paulie “The Magic Man” Malignaggi at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. This plans to be a clash between the two best 140-pound fighters in the world and one of the most intriguing and exciting fights of 2008.

Hatton, who switched trainers earlier this year, selecting highly respected American trainer Floyd Mayweather, Sr. as the new man in charge, will finish his last month of training in Las Vegas, a place he is familiar and comfortable with having fought his last three fights in the entertainment capital of the world.
