Ricky HattonI think everyone is pretty excited about me. I have a style that any fight fan would love. I am a real value-for-money fighter. People want to see me against the elite.
Ricky HattonI think that headband and that brylcreem and that gel on his hair will do him no good should we get it on.

Ricky HattonWhat is happening is not ideal. Sometimes nothing goes smoothly in the preparation for fights, and that is when you have to show what kind of champion you are and deal with whatever is put in front of you.
