Ricky Hatton officially hung up his boxing gloves in 2012 and will swap the ring for the ice rink to appear in ITV's Dancing On Ice series next year.
Former world champion boxer Ricky Hatton has been announced as the first contestant in the upcoming series of Dancing On Ice which is expected to air early next year, usually around January, to viewers of ITV.
He said speaking of taking part in the dancing competition: "If I can hold my nerve in the boxing ring I should be able to hold my nerve in the ice rink. I like setting new challenges and keeping myself busy." He returned to the ring for the first time last year in almost a decade for an exhibition bout against Marco Antonio Barrera. His 45-3 professional record was not affected by the bout, which had no scoring and no official winner declared.
Although not officially confirmed by ITV, it has also been rumoured he could be joined by former S Club star Hannah Spearritt who first rose to fame as part of the world-famous pop group in 1999.
