Boxing: Ricky Hatton has promised his fans he will not hold back when he takes on Paulie Malignaggi in his eagerly-anticipated IBF light-welterweight fight on Saturday.
Hatton will fight Malignaggi at the MGM Grand Arena, the same venue where he was stopped by Floyd Mayweather in his WBC welterweight title fight last December.
The English fighter has promised to exorcise the demons of that night by beating the New York fighter in a typically entertaining fashion.
"It will be just the usual Ricky Hatton barn-storming fight," Hatton said. "I'm going to be all over him like a rash. I won't be taking any backward steps. It will be the same old Ricky Hatton.
"The day Ricky Hatton fans leave a fight without being entertained is the day I hang up my gloves."
