Hatton To Be Trained By Mayweather Sr.

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

(Sports Network) - Ricky Hatton will be trained by Floyd Mayweather Sr. for his upcoming fight with IBF light-welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi, set for Las Vegas on November 22.

Mayweather, the father of Floyd Mayweather Jr., who beat Hatton in their WBC welterweight title bout last year, is set to take charge of Hatton's training schedule later this month.

"At this stage of my career I am not going to change my style too much but you are never too old to learn," Hatton said. "I have spoken with my team and we are all sure that I'll benefit from Floyd's incredible knowledge. The fight against Malignaggi is make or break and I'm convinced this will be the best training camp I have ever had."

The 55-year-old Mayweather is regarded as one of boxing's top trainers, having worked the corner of his son as well as superstar Oscar De La Hoya.
