Hatton aims to make a bigger impression
10/12/2001
BOXING: Ricky Hatton hopes to make his greatest ever year even better.
The WBU light-welterweight winner from Hyde faces Australia's Justin Roswell on Saturday at the Wembley Conference Centre.
An impressive showing will further enhance his growing reputation Stateside, with the Roswell clash being the second time he has been featured on the ShoBox boxing channel.
"I've only had one fight on ShoBox so far, but everybody seems to know me over there," Ricky said.
"When I went to Las Vegas for the recent Kostya Tszyu/Zab Judah fight I was constantly signing autographs for fans who can't wait to see me fight again.
"They say I fight like a Mexican, which is a great compliment to me."
Roswell has an excellent amateur record, topping this up with a pro history of 31 wins in 34 bouts.
Hatton added: "Roswell is coming a long way to go home empty-handed. He will not be leaving with the belt."
Full fight preview later this week.
