Ricky Hatton has spoken of an all-British showdown with WBA light-welterweight world champion Amir Khan as "a possibility".

Hatton has been focusing on promoting since his dramatic second-round knock-out against Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas in May.

The 30-year-old Mancunian is still yet to confirm whether he intends to fight on, but the signals are that he is considering it.

"If I do decide to make a comeback and he (Khan) is still world champion and he's still at that level, then obviously being a light-welterweight, it is a possibility" Hatton said.

"But with the greatest of respect, it would only be if I promoted it.

"But, yeah, if I choose to fight again and he's still up there - which I certainly hope he is, as a personal friend - then it's a possibility."

Doubts remain over the eagerness of Khan, who on Saturday reaffirmed his desire to fight in the United States as soon as possible.

But even if that fight cannot be made, the signs are that Hatton feels that he still has something to offer as a fighter.

"I'm not making any decision (yet). One day I might just wake up in the morning and think, 'let's give it another go'," he added.

"At the moment I'm busy with the promoting, enjoying what I'm doing working with all these former champions and prospects I've got coming up.

"But us boxers - it doesn't take us long to get itchy feet again."
