He mentioned he had trained a world champion...did I miss something?

Probably counting Zhanat Zhakiyanov, won the WBA interim title in November.

so we have the wba non-world world title and the interim titles being described as world titles,
but what about the wba cubic zirconia encrusted mega obsequious, purple and clairvoyant title?

He beat Luis Collazo for the WBA welterweight title in 2006 but did not defend it.

Err yeah I was being sarcastic, meaning Hatton manages to shoe horn it into every conversation

" Lucas Browne winning would do big things for Hatton Promotions"

It gives him a heavyweight "world champion" that he cant feasibly win purse bids when it comes to a decent defence.

He cant fight on Sky TV in uk without Matchroom holding all the cards - exxclusive deal with sky
He cant fight on allegedly in uk without Warren holding all the cards - considering they had a big court battle its unlikely Warren would do anything other than take Ricky to cleaners.

Only other option is selling Browne in america, very unlikely. Or Australia, where ricky has zero experience or other fighters.

Still, better than Browne losing!
