For this all-British world featherweight title clash between Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington, Ricky Hatton is well and truly buzzing to watch it and is gutted he can’t attend it it person. Despite being a man who knows everything there is to know about boxing, inside and out, the Manchester man couldn’t pick a winner.
In a recent interview with Boxing News, ‘The Hitman’ was firmly sitting on the fence and is finding it difficult to predict who will come out on top:
“I think it’s a 50/50 fight – very, very close. I’m friends with both Leigh and Josh. I think it will be an absolute barnstormer of a fight,” Hatton revealed to Boxing News ahead of the all-British world featherweight dust-up.
“They’ve both got great styles and it can’t not be an exciting fight. I wish them both all the best. I think it’s a ‘toss a coin’ type of fight.”
