Hatton's opponent Vyacheslav Senchenko was a no show for their head-to-head press conference at Manchester Town Hall.
Ricky Hatton is ready to take out his frustrations on Vyacheslav Senchenko when he returns to a boxing ring.
"We're really, really disappointed. We knew the opponent was an excellent opponent. He was getting caught coming in. He lost his concentration probably after the fourth round and was getting caught. "That body punch took everything out of him."
We're expecting Ricky Hatton in the press room at midnight.
