England, June 5th, 2am: The noise is deafening, almost frightening. Chants, screams, whistles, they are all for one man. The crowd, a sea of excitement and anticipation, had erupted into hysteria a few minutes earlier at the first sight of their hero, Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton, as he emerged from the sanctuary of his dressing room to make his way into the ring where his perilous date with destiny is set to take place.

Amid the ear swelling roars, Hatton, trying to disguise his emotions with an expression of steely determination, is only moments away from meeting one of the most feared punchers in recent memory.
