UK boxer Ricky Hatton says only two more fights
 UK boxer Ricky Hatton says he will have two more fights and then announce his retirement.
Hatton is facing American Paulie Malignaggi later this year in Las Vegas for the IBO and IBF light-welterweight belt.
29-year-old Ricky Hatton then wants to take on Filipino fighter Manny Pacquiao or Mexican boxer Oscar de la Hoya at Wembley next year as his final fight.
Hatton has stated that he will be facing Malignaggi in Las Vegas, which is the only place he has ever been defeated , which happened when Floyd Mayweather beat him in December.
A last fight with Manny Pacquiao, who won the WBC lightweight title by beating David Diaz on Saturday, would mean two of the world's most popular boxers would be fighting each other.
Both Hatton and Pacquiao have a massive following and the Manchester fighter wants to hold it in front of 100,000 fans in the UK as the final climax of his boxing career.
