Ricky Hatton would want to fight to Salita

According to the Scott Gilfoid news, Dmitri Salita says, "I wants to fight Ricky Hatton of all people, and he wants to fight him in Israel".

Salita 28 years old, in the world Boxing Association he got a #1 position in his fighter life for first time previous year. I saw some of Salita’s fights before that and was dismayed that the WBA could have this guy ranked at #1 for Khan.

Salita said “I would like to fight in Israel, I would like to fight for a world title and I would like to fight Ricky Hatton, since I read that he is planning a comeback.”
