Paulie Malignaggi revealed that he wants to fight against Ricky Hatton in Brooklyn in October. He had been already beaten up once by Hatton back in October 2008 and now looking forward to set the record straight.It has also been rumored that Ricky has retired from the boxing after a defeat to Manny Pacquiao in 2009 but its has been reported that he is back to gym and ready to return to the ring.
"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".
