"I am trying to find out if the rumours are true," Malignaggi told BoxingScene. "If they are then of course I am interested. It's always nice to go back and avenge your losses." 

"There is just no way Ricky Hatton can beat me," he continued. "I say that respectfully.

"He did his thing. He was an iconic figure in boxing but I eat those styles up. If you watched me throughout 2008, it was sub-par.

"It was an inner team problem that I should have fixed long before the Hatton fight."

Malignaggi went on to invite a third fight, in England next year to "settle the trilogy".
