Ricky Hatton, 46, to Make Boxing Comeback in Dubai

  • Ricky Hatton, a 46-year-old British boxing legend, is set to return to professional boxing on December 2, 2025, in Dubai against Emirati fighter Eisa Al Dah.
  • Hatton retired in 2012 following a loss to Vyacheslav Senchenko but remained involved in boxing, taking part in a 2022 exhibition bout against the Mexican fighter Marco Antonio Barrera.
  • Al Dah, also 46 and Dubai's first professional boxer, promised a 'true fight, true action' distinct from the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight, while Hatton appeared by video link due to an eye injury.
  • Hatton, who has compiled a 45-3 record including major victories over Kostya Tszyu and Paulie Malignaggi, said he wanted to take one more fight to determine if he still possessed his former abilities.
  • This comeback marks Hatton's first professional bout in over a decade and highlights renewed boxing interest in Dubai with expectations of a sold-out global event.
