The 22-year old, who is a 1/2 favourite to beat reigning champion Andreas Kotelnik at Bet365 (Go to Bet365 »), told Sky Sports news that a Hatton match would definitely be interesting for the future. He said: "A lot of people are building it up and after Ricky's defeat, Ricky wants to come back and get a big win so we're just going to leave it with the promoters."Khan added that the match-up would be huge for the UK and it has been reported that the Bolton boxer's management team are trying to arrange it.
