I don't know if any of this is definate, but my dad said the other day, he was listening to Talk Sport radio and apparently he heard allegedly saying that Ricky Hatton's next fight, either against Vivian Harris or Paul Spadafora, will definately be in America.

Of course, we know not to get too excited, but this doesn't surprise me as it seems Hatton and Warren's relationship is hanging by a thread, so he would obviously need to give Hatton a risk fight to avoid losing his cash cow.

well if he fights spadafora he`s risking fornicate all imo.
but after his last performance and considering it will be his first fight stateside as a name spadafora is probably a sensible option.
he should have been doing this two years ago.

Oops! I forgot to mention that I didn't see Spadafora as a big enough fight! Harris is the only option in my opinion.

If I were Warren, I would definetly take Spadafora first in America, Ricky has no experience of BIG fights in the states, despitet having fought ther early in his career.

Spadafora on a PPV card in the states, and then Harris/Mitchell for the main course, provided he wins, which he should with ease.

I cannot see how Spadafora would outwork Hatton, and unless he cuts him, don't see how he stops him.

Lol. I haven't really heard anything on this, I just mentioned because my dad heard Warren on the radio saying it. But as I say, we have taken his words with a pinch of salt.

If Ricky's going to America, it will be with another promoter.

What do you mean, another promoter?! You're just trying to cause trouble, and stir up a controversy, when there isn't one! If Wank Sporran says he's taking Hatton to America, then he's going to America! Why all the fuss about him fighting in the US anyway, he's fought in the Us already in his career! :wink:

Did anyone see the bloke? I would be amazed - and said so when it was raised - if he was allowed in the country.

Ahhh, it all makes sense now! Hatton probably will in fact be fighting Paul Spadafora in America because Spadafora can't leave the country.

And Warren thinks he can con us into thinking he wants Ricky to fight over there!

Again, Spaddy is a good opponent but it's just not enough.
