Ricky Hatton has announced his return to the boxing ring at the age of 43.
The former Welterweight World Champion retired from the sport in 2012, following a 9th round stoppage defeat against Vyacheslav Senchenko.
"I can confirm my return to the ring." Hatton tweeted from his personal account.
"Join me for a huge party night - with top music acts - in Manchester on July 2. It's not how you fall, it's how you rise..."
