On Saturday at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada, Amir Khan is set to make the 3rd defense of his WBA light-welterweight title against Marcos Maidana. Ricky Hatton, who considers himself a friend of Khan’s, believes all of Britain should be proud of the kid from Bolton for the way he has resurrected himself after suffering a knockout loss to Breidis Prescott.
Quoted recently by the Daily Star (a UK Publication), Hatton in regards to Khan, stated: “Britain should be proud of the way he dragged himself up after being knocked out, won the world title and is now taking on all-comers.”
Hatton had high praise for Khan and noted that his hard work has paid off as he is now mentioned in the same breath as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr.
“He is now being mentioned in the same breath as a possible opponent for Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr”, said Hatton.
Hatton who absolutely loves Vegas, will be ringside on Saturday to witness the action bettween Khan and Maidana.
