Rumours have been circulating that Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton is going for another fight before he retires and has been considering Joe Gallagher to help him get in shape.

Everyone is talking about a potential comeback for Ricky Hatton this year with Marquez as a possible opponent, but due to Ricky’s lost confidence in Mayeather Snr as a trainer he is looking towards Britains own Joe Gallagher! Joe Gallagher is often regarded as Britains top trainer and already taken over Hattons old Gym, the Phoenix Camp Gym.

The Phoenix Camp Gym has already been renamed ‘Gallagher’s’ but the Gym ethos and training style has remained as it was in Hatton’s day. Gallagher already has a business relationship with Ricky Hatton, has claimed hehas a plan to get Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton back to the top, saying,

“With fighters like Ricky it’s not a case of teaching them new things. It’s about reminding them what they do best.”

Hatton has always ‘let himself go’ a little bit between fights giving himself a new nickname of Ricky Fatman with the joke of ‘who ate all the pies’ so getting Ricky back into shape to be fight ready is always a struggle, and Hatton needs a trainer that can help him get back into shape without putting too much of a strain on himself. But Hatton is a motivated fighter and once training starts, Hatton will be focused into losing the extra 50-60 pounds necessary to make his fighting weight.

There are always rumours surrounding Hatton and comebacks as he is such a popular fighter, but if he does I am sure Gallagher will be a good choice of trainer!
