Hatton wants to recreate his famous ring entrance at the Manchester Arena on November 12th. While talking to Sky Sports, he stated, “My ring walks are always very special. The ringwalk was the one thing that I miss from boxing. For any boxer when he comes out the changing room and does that walk to the ring, it’s the most nerve-wracking thing. When you retire, that’s the one thing you miss.”
