But Hatton, who hung up the gloves in 2012, comes back tonight in an exhibition with Mexican icon Marco Antonio Barrera.

A day later, Mayweather also returns over eight spectacle rounds against YouTuber Deji in Dubai.

It leaves Hatton refusing to rule out sharing a ring with his American rival once more.

He told Sky Sports: “I’d have to look at it. To share the ring with Floyd Mayweather again would be something else.”;

Mayweather, 45, retired in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 34, but has had four exhibition bouts since.

He most recently knocked out Japanese MMA contender Miruku Asakura, 30, in September and returns tomorrow against Deji, 25.

He said: “We all know how good a fighter he is as boxing fans with all the great fights he’s been in.

“But I’m going to get the chance to find out first-hand just how good he actually is. I hope doesn’t come back to bite me on the backside.

“We’re not going to want anyone leaving that venue turning round and going ‘what a waste of time that was’.

“The fans have never walked away disappointed from a Ricky Hatton fight – and they won’t do on Saturday night.”;
