Frank Warren, the former promoter of Ricky Hatton, has once again urged the Manchester star to forget about a comeback and focus on retirement. Two weeks ago Hatton announced a comeback in the middle of the year. Hatton plans to start training in February. Warren says Hatton is so overweight that he might seriously hurt himself by trying to work off so many pounds.

"He was badly knocked out against Pacquiao, he's the size of a house and he doesn't look good," Warren told Sky Sports. "He's at least 13-and-a-half to 14 stone and if he's going to fight at 10 stone that's a stone a month, now that for any person, is a difficult thing to do."

"For an athlete, you don't know what that's going to do to your body. He should retire in a heartbeat, and anyone around him who has encouraged him to fight should be ashamed of themselves."
