Coral bookmakers are odds-on 4-11 that Ricky Hatton makes a winning return to the ring, when he takes on Vyacheslav Senchenko in Manchester on November 24th.
The challenger, who has just one defeat in 33 fights, is 2-1, with the draw 33-1.
“Recent pictures showed Hatton in shape and looking good, but his choice of opponent is by no means an easy option, and a good win could see him back amongst the best in 2013,” Coral spokesman Gary Burton told betrescue.com
Ricky Hatton is 2-1 with Coral bookmakers to win a world title before the end of 2013 and 25-1 to be named BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
