Ricky Hatton worried about keeping emotions in check

Ricky Hatton has said that he is "most worried" about keeping his emotions in check on his return to the boxing ring this evening.

'The Hitman' ends a three-and-a-half-year absence by taking on Vyacheslav Senchenko at the Manchester Arena this evening.

"It's going to be a very emotional night," said Hatton. "I've tried to prepare myself for it by imagining what the ring walk will be like and stepping into the ring for the first time.

"Even at home this week watching the documentary on my comeback, my bottom lip started going.

"I'm going to have to hold it all together and try to keep my cool. That's what I'm most worried about."

Hatton has promised to once again retire if he loses out to Ukrainian Senchenko this evening.
