LAS VEGAS -- The very next day after arriving in Las Vegas, Ricky Hatton engaged in fierce combat over the course of twelve rounds of sparring as "The Hitman" prepared for his IBF Light Welter Championship fight with reigning champion Juan Urango, scheduled for Saturday, January 20 at The Paris Hotel.
At the Las Vegas gym of former WBC Bantamweight Champion Wayne McCullough, Hatton displayed his legendary fitness by going twelve hard rounds with rugged southpaw Donald Camarena. The action was fast and furious, a fitting preview for the highly anticipated slugfest expected when Hatton and Urango square off at The Paris next weekend.
Dennis Hobson/Fight Academy and Banner Promotions, in association with Top Rank, Inc., present Ricky Hatton vs. Juan Urango for the IBF Light Welterweight Championship of the world on January 20, 2007 at the Paris Hotel, Las Vegas, NV.
