“It is a fight that I always felt
would happen. People are making me out
as a big underdog, a big betting underdog as well, but to be honest that
doesn’t worry me.”
Indeed,
the 30-year-old is bringing his IBF International welterweight title to the
table and boxed at a much higher level when facing Mexican sensation Saul
Alvarez last March. Although a clear loser
on the scorecards in that one, Hatton believes that the experience of going up
against Alvarez will hold him in good stead.

“I
enjoy being the underdog sometimes because you go in there with nothing to lose
and everything to gain,” declared the former European welterweight champion.
