has revealed that son Ricky is "getting back to his old self" and he is refusing to rule out the possibility of the former two-weight champion making a ring comeback. After a video allegedly showing Ricky snorting cocaine was brought to light in the News of the World in September, the fighter checked into rehab with severe depression before having his boxing licence stripped by the British Boxing Board of Control.
Memories of Ricky's last fight are not fond ones - he was savagely knocked out inside two rounds in a devastating defeat at the hands of Filipino Manny Pacquiao in May 2009. But Hatton Snr believes his son is getting back on track, both mentally and physically. "He's fine at the moment, he's working out in his home gym and he's actually coming into the gym and working out every day alongside the other boxers," he told Sky Sports.
"As of today he's lost well over two stones, he's looking really good and very relaxed. He's getting back to his old self, his sense of humour's there and he's got that little spring in his step. I think working with some of the lads here and giving them a bit of advice and obviously he's feeling a bit fitter."
When asked whether he expects Ricky to return to the ring, he said: "I don't know. Ricky will be the one that makes his mind up. At the moment we're just happy we're seeing Ricky Hatton back and there's a buzz in the gym and just having his presence here and the little bit of advice he's doing."
