Hmm, not sure I can agree with Ricky that he was being put in with dangerous fighters all the time, and that Frank didn't care about his best interests. Still, this does suggest that Frank might be accepting that it's over, as long as he gets compensated.

Ricky continues in his statement by saying that "allegedly would put me into whatever fights as made the most money for them as quickly as possible. They would put me into three successive brutal defences against the best fighters in the world regardless of the fact that that would not be appropriate course for me, my health or career".

Three successive brutal defences? Hatton has had 1 brutal fight against Tszyu and plenty of easy nights. Making a statement like that is just plain ridiculous.

Hatton might be going the way Naz and Coneteh did.

So that press release in English please?

Does this mean that Hatton vs Maussa will definately go ahead as planned?

I believe he won't try and stop the fight happening but will still claim compensation etc from Hatton for breach of contract

Humble pie at SN head office by the sounds of it!

Hatton's gone (for now) and Warren had better get used it.

He's lost, so now he can start hatching more little schemes to get back at Ricky in the adult manner we've come to expect from him.

Does that mean hes going to step away from the top P4P Comp of brutes like Vilches and Pederson and step down the comp CHEEKY B******

Also don't miss Billy telling us like it is:

"Ricky's trainer Billy Graham stated recently on Sky Sports Ringside programme: "do I fancy him [Maussa] for Ricky? I don't think anybody would really pay to see it."

I see that FW also had a pop at Fight Academy for not being licenced promoters
