Judah Wants Bouts With Ricky and Matthew Hatton
By Jim Dower: Former IBF light welterweight and undisputed welterweight champion Zab Judah (37-6, 25 KOs) is interested in fighting both Ricky and Matthew Hatton in 2009. Judah, 31, has lost four out of his last 10 fights and is no longer a relevent factor in the welterweight division. Perhaps for this reason in mind, he recently took on light welterweight Ernest Johnson, beating him by an easy 10-round decision in November.
Matthew Hatton vs. Bami on March 28th
By William Mackay: The ambitious but deeply flawed welterweight prospect Matthew Hatton (35-4-1, 13 KOs) will return to action on March 28th against the weak-punching Ted Bami (26-4, 13 KOs)at the Altrincham Leisure Centre. Hatton, 27, the younger brother of light welterweight Ricky Hatton, has had an uneven career up to this point, losing a handful of fights in his nine year career.
