- Ricky Hatton, a former two-weight world champion from Manchester, will return to the ring to face Eisa Al Dah in Dubai on December 2, 2025.
- Hatton retired after losing to Vyacheslav Senchenko in Manchester in November 2012 and has since trained fighters, while Al Dah last fought in 2021.
- Hatton has a professional record of 45 wins and 3 losses, fought major bouts against Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, and had an exhibition match with Marco Antonio Barrera in 2022.
- Hatton expressed his eagerness to step back into the ring and compete once more, while Al Dah promised a dynamic fight that would be very different from the Tyson-Paul matchup.
- This scheduled comeback reflects a rising trend of veteran boxers returning to competition and renewed interest in Hatton’s career more than a decade after retirement.
