    I was dropped in sparring as Floyd Mayweather Sr trained me into the ground for Manny Pacquiao fight, says Ricky Hatton

    RICKY HATTON has opened up on the nightmare training camp in the run up to his brutal knockout loss to Manny Pacquiao. The year was 2009 and Manchester’s beloved Hitman was almost 18 months removed from his crushing first ever loss to Floyd Mayweather.

    And after a financial dispute forced Hatton to part with his long-time coach and mentor Billy Graham, he actually hired Mayweather’s dad.
    Together they beat Juan Lazcano and Paulie Malignaggi but the acid test would come against Pacquiao.
    But Hatton revealed the fight was already lost in the gym and his mind, which was laid bare when he was floored just weeks before the bout.
    He told SunSport: “I think Floyd Mayweather Sr trained me into the ground.

    “When I was like eight weeks out from the fight I felt fantastic but he drilled me and drilled me, round after round after round. 
    “Then two or three weeks before the fight my sparring partner, one of them knocked me on my a***.  I thought, ‘This ain’t right.’”
    Hatton’s alarm bells were ringing when he arrived in Las Vegas and was told by Mayweather that he could not hold pads in the southpaw stance.
    Weeks of gruelling training also drained the former world champion to the point that his dad Ray wanted to pull his son out of the fight.

    But having never got over his loss to Mayweather Jr and the subsequent falling out with coach Graham, Hatton knew the writing was on the wall.
    He said: “Bearing in mind the Floyd Mayweather fight I was devastated, so mentally I was bad. 
    “I then fell out with Billy Graham so mentally I was down and I fought Malignaggi and I was back up, then I fought Pacquiao and I was back down again. 
    “So even though Floyd Mayweather Sr trained me into the ground a little bit – and he couldn’t do southpaw pads – my mind wasn’t in a good place anyway. 
    “I was never gonna pull out of the fight because the tickets had been sold and I’m a proud man but if I had, I’d have ended up in the same place anyway. 
    “My head wasn’t right because since the Mayweather fight my mind was never right. Even if the training hadn’t gone bad, my head wasn’t right. 
    “If I had pulled out, that might have done more damage. So it’s a hard one to say.” 
    Hatton took three years out of the sport after being knocked out cold by Pacquiao in just two rounds, sparking a spiral in his personal life.
    He returned in 2012 but lost in round nine to Vyacheslav Senchenko, which signalled the end of his boxing career.
    Two or three weeks before the fight my sparring partner, one of them knocked me on my a***.  I thought, ‘This ain’t right.’Ricky Hatton on his loss to Manny Pacquiao
    In retirement, Hatton has turned to coaching and is now a team captain for a new boxing concept called The Box Off which kicks off next Saturday.
    The tournament will see four city-based teams compete in a knockout competition.
    Each team has five fighters, one from each weight class, and will box over four rounds with winners progressing into the final.
    Finalists also earn four points for their team, with championship winners gaining a further six meaning the team with he most are crowned victors.
    Hatton is leading the charge for Manchester as he looks to find boxing’s next top star.
    He said: “It’s going to give a chance to someone that might not normally get one. 
    “People coming out the GB squad or Olympians, you know they’re going to get a contract with Sky Sports, or BT, Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren. 
    “I’m pretty sure there’s some talent out there sat on the settee thinking, ‘You know what? I can beat them.’

    Gold medal Paralympian Richard Whitehead hopes to inspire more disabled people to get involved in sport

    FOUR in 10 people with disabilities don’t feel confident enough to participate in sporting events, according to research.Of the 700 disabled adults polled, 30 per cent believe the events do not cater for those with additional needs.

    And 56 per cent felt they wouldn’t be seen as a priority when it came to participating.
    Almost one in five (17 per cent) also feel they lack the support network needed to take part, while 16 per cent were held back by the cost of entering events.
    But 12 per cent feel inadequate representation in sporting events is a barrier, with 54 believing access to trained volunteers would give them the confidence required to take part in mass participation sporting events.
    To help encourage participation, Nissan GB, the official partner of the Great Run Series which commissioned the research, is working with The Richard Whitehead Foundation to help make running events more inclusive by providing support and encouragement to disabled participants.

    Gold-medal winning Paralympian, marathon runner and Nissan GB’s diversity, equity and inclusion ambassador, Richard Whitehead, said: “Disabled people feel they aren’t confident to enter sporting events.
    “As a Paralympic athlete and distance runner, I feel it’s something we should change.
    “Whatever the race, whatever the distance, it’s always a chance to give back to the running and disability community.”
    “Growing up and throughout my career I’ve witnessed the challenges that disabled people face in order to take part in sporting events, so I’m delighted to work with Nissan GB to help remove some of these barriers.”

    The study found the average disabled adult exercises for a total of just under 76 minutes each week, over four sessions.
    And 39 per cent consider exercise as something they are passionate about.
    When it comes to sports they’d most like to test themselves in, swimming topped the list (22 per cent) followed by a half marathon (18 per cent).
    Others would like to take part in a grassroots or local football tournament (17 per cent) or a CrossFit event (12 per cent).
    But the study, carried out via OnePoll, found two thirds of disabled people believe there aren’t enough televised disability sporting events.
    And 53 per cent want the government to do more to encourage sporting events for people with disabilities.
    Whitehead added: “Sport should be accessible to everyone, so It’s exciting that we can pilot the Supported Runner Project at the AJ Bell Great North Run this weekend and the AJ Bell Great South Run in October, ahead of our full launch in 2024.” More

    During the interview, Fury Sr went on an explosive rant about “being a man”.

    He said: “No, nothing got me going. That’s my normal character, Ben.

    “But when you’re naturally bigger, naturally stronger, the desire is more and you’re a born fighter and been doing rounds with the heavyweight champion of the world, we’ve got nothing to worry about.”

    Shephard and Garraway soon wrapped up the interview.
    And laughing Garraway quipped: “I’m more scared of the dad.” despite son Tommy being the current professional boxer.

    The unbeaten younger brother of WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury comes into the fight having beaten KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul via split-decision in Saudi Arabia back in February.
    And having already chalked one off his list, the 24-year-old ex-Love Islander wants to put the crossover boxing scene to bed by securing wins over the pair.
    However, during an appearance with his father, John Fury, on GMB today, he shocked host Garraway when dishing out a threat to KSI.
    Fury, whose fiancee Molly-Mae Hague gave birth to baby girl Bambi in January, began by claiming: “This is an easy win for me, I’m training like I’m training for an undisputed world title fight.

    “When I jump in the ring with KSI he will quickly realise that fighting a YouTuber is completely different to fighting a professional boxer.”

    Dad John already helped to raise the heat between the two fighters as their latest press conference to promote the fight descended into chaos when he began flipping tables on stage this week.
    And the former bare-knuckle boxer predicted more carnage come fight night as he claimed his son will keep punching his opponent until he “URINATES” himself and warned it will be a “street-fight with gloves on” at the event.
    After claiming his “good-looking son” can beat anybody out there, Fury then told Garraway and GMB viewers today: “Don’t be deceived by looks. This kid can fight, he’s as tough as boots.”
    And he then finished off by promising: “The fans are going to love it.”
    KSI also appeared on the ITV show last month and made a better impression on Garraway.
    The 30-year-old sat down in the studio to discuss his global fame, appeal to young people and how he keeps his private life under wraps.
    But he then stood up to give Garraway a punching demonstration – with the presenter later throwing some punches at co-host Richard Madeley.
