Former world champion Ricky Hatton says he is enjoying life as a promoter, although he admits to still dreaming of a return to the ring.

The 32-year-old has not fought since being knocked out by Manny Pacquiao almost two years ago and does not have any immediate plans to get back into training.

He is currently running Hatton Promotions and is busy with preparations for Amir Khan's WBA light-welterweight title defence against Paul McCloskey at the MEN Arena on April 16.

And Hatton is excited to be able to develop promising young boxers even if he still thinks about fighting again himself.

"I'm enjoying it massively," said Hatton, a former world title holder at two weights.
