Who is hatton going to fight

Urango may have been more muscular and seemingly larger than Hatton, but that only slowed him down as Hatton stayed busy the whole fight while Urango was unable to land anything meaningful.

Hatton almost suffered a cut when the two violently clashed their heads in the eleventh round, but surprisingly Hatton was able to make it out with no cuts. This was one of Hatton's biggest fights as this would be the fight that would set him up against Floyd Mayweather Jr. Castillo was Mexican warrior who notably lost a controversial fight to Floyd Mayweather Jr. From the start of the bell, Hatton put the pressure on Castillo eventually knocking him down but was later ruled as slip.

It didn't matter because Hatton was controlling the pace and landing combinations against Castillo. Hatton kept the fight inside and the two constantly clinched each other. Whenever Castillo would land a shot Hatton would respond with faster hands and cleaner shots. This would continue on to the fourth round when Hatton downed Castillo with a left hook to the body which brought Castillo to a knee.

Surprisingly Castillo opted to stay down and let the referee count him out. Hatton was once again at the top and would later go on to fight the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. Kosta Tszyu, who has recently been admitted to the Hall of Fame, was Hatton's biggest and notable fight in his whole career.

Kosta is famous for not only being a brilliant fighter but teaching us that we shouldn't play with matches. Kosta was the first man unify the junior welterweight division in 30 years and had been champion for more than a decade. Hatton, the young underdog from Britain, didn't look to stand a chance against the champion. Hatton came out strong in the early rounds, but Tszyu pulled through and picked up the pace in the middle rounds.

At one point in the fight Kosta hit Hatton with an intentional low blow which Hatton quickly responded to with pinpoint accuracy.

From then on Hatton stayed aggressive throughout the rest of the fight going into the 12th round. Kosta failed to come out of his corner in the twelfth round awarding Hatton the victory. I was very nervous. When I compared it to my second fight, it was night and day. Hatton, who fights as a lightweight, has certain stylistic similarities to his father, with a propensity for body shots. He has been trained by his uncle Matthew, who challenged for a world title during his own professional boxing career.

He is looking at the son of another former two-time world champion, the undefeated Conor Benn , as a guide for his early career. There is a lot of pressure on him.
