World Champion backs the Horton campaign
Former two weight champion of the world, Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton, is getting behind the Horton campaign by tweeting a picture of himself along with a campaign t-shirt.
Mr Hatton, who held the IBF and WBA light-welterweight belts before moving up to welterweight to claim the WBA belt in that division, agreed to publicise the campaign after being approached by Banbury businessman Kevin Baker.
