 Hatton is keen to land one of boxing's respected belts |
Ricky Hatton has threatened to walk away from promoter Frank Warren if he does not get his shot at WBA champion Vivian Harris in October. The 25-year-old WBU light-welterweight holder has become frustrated at the quality of his opposition.
"I am mandatory challenger for Harris," Hatton told the Daily Express.
"And if I don't get him next, then I will have to seriously consider where I am going with my career and I will think about going it alone."
Hatton expressed his concern at being an outsider on the world boxing stage.
"I seem to have been sitting in the ring apron for the last few years now and hearing the same old story, that this is going to be my year.
"I cannot keep waiting. Warren and I have a great relationship and he has done brilliantly with my career, but he knows he has to deliver for me because the situation cannot continue.
"I am fed up sitting in front of the box and watching Miguel Cotto, Arturo Gatti and Sharmba Mitchell. All of them are saying Hatton never leaves his living room and right now they are right."
