Ricky Hatton has promised his fans he will not hold back when he takes on Paulie Malignaggi in their eagerly-anticipated IBF light-welterweight fight on Saturday.

Hatton will fight Malignaggi at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, the same venue where he was stopped by Floyd Mayweather in his WBC welterweight title fight last December.

"It will be just the usual Ricky Hatton barn-storming fight," said 'The Hitman'. "I'm going to be all over him like a rash."

He added: "I won't be taking any backward steps. It will be the same old Ricky Hatton.

"The day Ricky Hatton fans leave a fight without being entertained is the day I hang up my gloves."
