Venue not confirmed as of yet though.

Vegas "Paris Casino" 20th January Vs Juan Urango for the IBF Light-Welterweight title. Jose Luis Castillo is on the undercard and both he and Hatton will fight for the IBF title later in the year should they both win their respective fights.

Hatton



Never mind, a feeble attempt at a joke from the eighties.

The vacant IBO Light-Welterweight title will also be on the line for some reason.

I read an article where he said that he was prepared to give up Christmas for his dream of fighting in Vegas so I don't think he'll be to bothered. This should be a cracker of a fight. Urango has a record of 17-0-1 with 13 K.O.s out of his 17 wins. That's a good record but I think he might be a bit inexperienced at the very top level but we'll see in January.

The good thing is that should Hatton and Castillo win they'll fight next June! That will be worth traveking to vegas for.

And this is on HBO? Thought they would have kept him on the east coast.

Still, at least they're not making him fight in a carpark.

Yeah, HBO are broadcasting the fight. I thought they might have wanted it in Atlantic City to try and capatalise on some of the Gatti fans who are looking for a new fighter to follow but Vegas it is.

I can't go because the missus is due to give birth at the beginning of the year but if Hatton gets through this then I'll definitely go for the Castillo fight in June!
