Ricky Hatton Returns to the Ring in December: Fight Against Eisa Al Dah

Ricky Hatton, a boxing legend, has announced his return to the ring. At 46 years old, the former world champion has confirmed that he will fight again in December, marking the end of a retirement that lasted 13 years. Hatton, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame last year, will face Eisa Al Dah of the United Arab Emirates in a middleweight bout. The fight is scheduled for December 2 in Dubai. The announcement was made during a live broadcast of the promotional event, led by Al Dah himself. Hatton, from his home, expressed his enthusiasm for the fight.

“I would like to be there, but I had a small injury to my eye. The main thing is that the fight will take place, and I can’t wait, I’m looking forward to it,” Hatton said.
