Ricky Hatton doesn't need to prove he is tough says Mike Tyson
MIKE TYSON says Ricky Hatton does not need to prove he is a tough guy when he makes his comeback next month.
Hatton will return to the ring after a three-year absence, against former WBA light-welter champion Vyacheslav
Senchenko in Manchester on November 24.
But Tyson believes Hatton should have dipped his toe in the water rather than jumping in at the deep end.
But boxing is a hard high to replace and drugs can’t do it
“It’s really difficult to come back after a break,” said Tyson, who was in London to promote his new ‘Mike Tyson Collection’ at Lillywhites.
“But if Ricky is excited about it, if he has the same vigour and hunger, then it excites me.
“I’d tell him to take it easy, to go in over your head to prove you’re tough.
