I will leave it to the promoters, but it is a fight that could happen in the future with the likes of Manny Pacquiao, the likes of Ricky Hatton.
UFC would be right up my street
I honestly don’t know where it will be, but it could end up being in Vegas ... Brits have no problem going to Vegas. It’s packed every time Ricky Hatton fights there. We’ll see, probably Vegas though.
I've proved I'm the best in Britain ... I want to box again as soon as possible and I want to box for a world title within 12 months. Michael Katsidis [the interim WBO champion from Australia] has just won a title. That would be a great fight and I think I have the style to beat him.
The main driver in all of this is what is best for Ricky Hatton. If I thought Ricky was being pushed into this fight purely for business reasons, I’d advise him against taking the fight. He should not be rushed. This is boxing, and I’d tell you that he shouldn’t do it unless he is 100 per cent committed...

The first choice is Pacquiao, but they will negotiate with Mayweather. If that doesn’t happen I will consider going to England to fight Ricky Hatton.
I think it would be a great, great all-action showdown so I'm frankly extremely excited if that fight could happen. I have informed [Marquez] of the possibility of a showdown in England, in Manchester, against Ricky Hatton, and he... accepted the opportunity.
Absolutely, that's what Gareth has mentioned and I have had conversations with Juan Manuel Marquez on Monday here at my offices. I have informed him of the possibility of a showdown in England, in Manchester, against Ricky Hatton and he immediately accepted the challenge, accepted the opportunity and wo...
Chandra and I were big fans of the ‘24/7’ series with Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather, and that’s kind of how this all came about
I’ve definitely got enough to give the big boys a run for their money ... Time is on my side. I’ve got a good engine and good stamina, they won’t be able to keep with me. I’m a bit like Ricky Hatton in the sense that I keep coming forward all the time.
I've promoted a lot of shows in Newcastle with all the big names like Naz [Naseem Hamed], Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton and Nigel Benn and I'm delighted to bring Amir to the city for the first time
I expect Ricky Hatton to be in 100 percent condition
I'm not Oscar de la Hoya. I’m not Ricky Hatton. I’m Miguel Cotto. Everyone knows what Miguel Cotto is capable of doing
