Ricky Hatton's Comeback Will Be For One Fight Only

Ricky Hatton is still considering a comeback and won't make a final decision until the first few weeks of 2010. He did confirm that his comeback will be for a single fight. He wants to redeem himself with a win but doesn't want to make it a full comeback campaign. Hatton only wants to set the record straight after being crushed in two rounds by Manny Pacquiao back in May.

For what may be the first time in public, Hatton admits to the issues that went on in his training camp behind the scenes. Leading up to the Pacquiao fight, there were rumors of a growing rift between trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. and co-trainer Lee Beard.

"Only another boxer would know why I’m thinking about having another fight," said Hatton. "It was embarrassing for me what happened against Pacquiao. There were things that went on in my training camp that affected that fight and I will talk to the people who know.

"I’m not going to take any notice of those people who say I should never go back in the ring because they do not know me and they do not know what has gone on in the background. I’ve heard the warnings about boxers going on too long and risking long-term damage. But I’m not coming back for five fights or anything like that. If I decide to come back it will be for one fight."

Hatton's likely opponent is still Juan Manuel Marquez.
