Seconds out (once again) ... Battered Hatton now wants a rematch with Mayweather

13 April 2012

Ricky Hatton has returned to Britain, claiming he wants a rematch with Floyd Mayweather.

The Mancunian was beaten by the WBC welterweight champion in their showdown in Las Vegas last weekend.

Former world champion Hatton suggested after the defeat he may now return to light-welterweight - but he has not ruled out again fighting the man regarded as the world's best pound-for-pound boxer.

It's all over: But Ricky Hatton has taken positives from his Mayweather defeat

Hatton told Sky Sports News: "A rematch could be in the offing, and there are fights at light-welterweight.

"My best attribute is I am fearless. I think it was working, up to the six-round stage there was not much in it then I lost my way a bit.

"I lost my rag and had a point taken off. But I've got lots of 'positives' to take from the fight."

Hatton's loss to Mayweather was the first in his 44-fight career.
