Big boned boxing balloon Ricky Hatton has shocked fat fans
around the world by announcing that he is to retire from competitive eating after three highly
successful seasons in order to return to a career in professional boxing.
Hatton spoiling for a bun fight
Officials at the
British Competitive Eating Association (BCEA) have been left dismayed by the pie
loving pugilists’ decision as it comes just days ahead of the London 2012 Obese Olympics where it was hoped heavyweight Hatton could bring home a
gold medal in the All You Can Eat Chinese Buffet category.
But some in the sport
believe Hatton is making a mistake by getting back into the ring. Barry
McGuigan told World of Sports: “Ricky could be biting off more than he can
chew; I just hope he doesn’t end up with egg on his face.”
When asked for his
thoughts on Hatton’s proposed comeback a surprised Chris Eubank said: “The fat
c*nts doing what?”
Despite previously
holding world titles at two weights Hatton’s boxing career has been about as active
as his thyroid gland in recent years, but this isn’t a decision that ‘The
Hitman’ has taken lightly.
Hatton told World of
Sports: “Most people are expecting me to get battered like chip shop cod, hmmm
chip shop cod.” He added: “This fighter is a tough cookie, hmmm cookies. This
fight isn’t going to be a picnic, hmmm picnic,” before he had to leave abruptly
to take what he referred to as a “massive sh*t.”
