Hatton spars 12 rounds in Vegas

Edited Press Release: The very next day after arriving in Las Vegas, Ricky Hatton engaged in fierce combat over the course of twelve rounds of sparring as "The Hitman" prepares for his IBF light welterweight title fight against beltholder Juan Urango, scheduled for Saturday, January 20 at The Paris Hotel.  
At the Las Vegas gym of former Wayne McCullough, Hatton displayed his legendary fitness by going twelve hard rounds with rugged southpaw Donald Camarena, who is 18-3 as a pro. The action was fast and furious, a fitting preview for the highly anticipated slugfest expected when Hatton and Urango square off at The Paris next weekend. Hatton is generally recognized as the world champion at 140 pounds, but vacated the belts he held in order to win a title at 147 last year. Dennis Hobson/Fight Academy and Banner Promotions, in association with Top Rank, Inc., present Ricky Hatton vs. Juan Urango for the IBF light welterweight championship of the world on January 20, 2007 at
the Paris Hotel, Las Vegas, NV. HBO World Championship Boxing will televise live in the US starting at 10PM ET/7PM ET. SKY Box Office broadcasts live in the UK beginning at 22:00 GMT. Tickets can be purchased by logging onto www.ticketmaster.com
