Ricky Hatton Homecoming

Hatton: he who dares wins

Down at City, the stadium is taking shape. The floor seats are being fitted, the ring is in place and the stadium looks amazing - with Hatton all over it. I guess for one night only it will be the Hatton Stadium of Manchester... it really is the stuff dreams are made of.

Wednesday, May 21

I started the day doing some autograph signings for my fans and the various charities I do work for.

I saw the fight programme and had a good read ahead of the fight. The merchandisers have done a great job.

Then it was down to the Betta Bodies Gym for the last day of serious training. I've got to be honest, I felt really good I can't wait for that bell to go on Saturday.

Paul from the Only Fools and Horses Appreciation Society called into the gym and dropped off some gifts for me including my very own Del Boy sheepskin coat! Lovely Jubbly!

I also heard today that Mike Tyson is coming to the fight. He is one of my boxing heroes.

What a fighter Mike was in his prime and although I have got other things to concentrate on come Saturday, I am looking forward to meeting him again.
