Hatton said: “The British heavyweight scene is as exciting today as it’s been for years, due to the success of several fighters.
“Recently Tyson and David Price have been getting attention, but I want to have Richard hot on their heels over the forthcoming months.
“I feel ready to let Richard off the leash now and he certainly won’t disappoint, and he I am sure he will back up my belief in him to go a long way on our bumper Sheffield show.”
