After hearing the news that Diego Corrales was killed in a motorcycle accident on Monday night in Las Vegas, unbeaten IBF junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton gave his thoughts on the tragedy to UK media outlet PA Sport.
"It is absolutely tragic news. I had a lot of admiration for Diego Corrales and his mega-fight against Jose Luis Castillo deserves to be ranked among the finest of all time. I had often been linked with a fight against Corrales and it is a fight I would have loved. He was my kind of fighter, a fighter's fighter. He was very passionate about his sport and boxing is a lot worse off without him," Hatton said.
