Fighting in his beloved Man City home stadium, he is looking to put right the bad taste and dissapointment from his last fight against Floyd Mayweather.
The good news is that this time fans won't have to stay up all night to wait for the bout as it's been scheduled to suit British fight fans instead of American TV.

He has put aside his American TV contract to make sure the fight suits British time, with Sky Box Office's broadcast beginning at 7.30pm.
"It is at a fan-friendly time, an English time," said Hatton.

Good for him says i.
Also on the list is his brother Matthew who is fighting Craig Watts for the Commonwealth Welterweight title and an IBF title fight.
So, who's up for cheering on Ricky to another title defence and seeing our boy come back in style?
I'm not sure where will be screening the bout but if i were a betting man i'd suggest Molly Malones is a likely venue.
So, Venue : Molly Malones
Time : 7.30 pm
When : Sat 24th May 2008
Bring it on!!!
