Press Release:  Arturo Gatti underwent minor elective surgery to repair the torn ligament in his right hand that has caused him problems in his past few bouts, it was announced today by Main Events CEO Kathy Duva.  Gatti chose February for the elective surgery so that he would be ready in plenty of time for  a  June/July return to the ring on HBO.Gatti’s manager Pat Lynch reports that Gatti’s ligament was re-attached by Dr. Charles Malone at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York  City .  Lynch also said that Malone cleared Gatti to fight in June or July.  Gatti’s promotional firm Main Events is in discussions with several top-rated welterweights, including Carlos Baldomir, and also plan to meet with the winner of the Oktay Urkal-Luis Collazo bout.   In his last bout on January 28, 2006, Gatti (40-7, 31 KO’s) stopped previously undefeated Danish welterweight Thomas Damgaard (TKO 11).
