RICKY HATTON IS PILING ON THE POUNDS -- Daily Star

By Helen Morton, Daily Star

RICKY Hatton looks more like Ricky Fat’un in this shocking picture.

The light welterweight seemed heavier than ever on a pub visit.

Locals were shocked by the one-time champ’s size as he supped Guinness with pals.

The boxing legend may need to shed four stone before a fight later this year.

Ricky, 31, has piled on the pounds since his last fight against Manny Pacquiao, 31,in May last year.

He was drinking in The Farmhouse restaurant in Coventry.

Manager Mohammed Sarnwal, 18, said: “It was very obvious Ricky Hatton has put on a lot of weight. I watch all his fights on telly, and it was shocking to see him walk through the door, looking so big. He seemed like a really nice bloke who cared a lot about his fans."

“He said he wasn’t training at the moment, but that he would be starting soon. I’m sure he’ll get down to the right weight for his next fight.”

Hatton always eats a full English breakfast before fights, has only lost two – against Pacquiao and Floyd Merryweather Jr.
