Former world champion Ricky Hatton has confirmed that he is highly unlikely to ever return to the ring as a fighter.
The 31-year-old, who held belts at both light-welterweight and welterweight, has not fought since being knocked out by Manny Pacquiao in May 2009 and has now switched his focus to being a promoter.
He told BBC Radio Manchester: "You can never say never, but if I was to put my last pound on it, I would say no, I think that's me done.
"I'm doing the promoting now and my goal is to try and make champions of my fighters.
"I've been retired, if that's what you can call it, for 16 months.
"I announced I was going to make a comeback and I came back off holiday and went into a training camp for three or four weeks, but it just wasn't the same.
"I've renewed my licence just in case one day I do wake up and think 'come on let's give it another go'.
"I think the licence off the top of my head is £60, so I think if I pay that and one day 'let's give it one more go', then I am in a position to do so."
