Ricky Hatton confirms in the aftermath of a crushing knockout defeat to Vyacheslav Senchenko that he will retire from boxing for good.

Ricky Hatton has confirmed that he will retire from boxing for good following last night's crushing knockout defeat to Vyacheslav Senchenko.

Senchenko stunned a packed MEN Arena by stopping Hatton in the ninth round with a fierce body shot, bringing an abrupt end to a keenly-contested welterweight fight.

Hatton admitted that the defeat has left him heartbroken and also insisted that the bout will be his last.

He told reporters at the post-fight press conference: "I don't want to put myself or Jennifer trough this any more.

"I need to be a real man and that means not putting my family through this again.

"Tonight is closure for me. I don't have it any more. That's the end for Ricky Hatton."

The former two-weight world champion finishes his professional career with 45 wins and three defeats.
