Kostya Tszyu v Ricky Hatton Jun 2005 - Ian Darke
Original commentary notes by Ian Darke
A high quality print of Ian Darke’s original commentary notes for the late, great Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton's world title winning bout against Kostya Tszyu, who came into the fight against the popular Mancunian fighter as the IBF light-welterweight champion.
Why we love this sheet? It was the night when Hatton reached the pinnacle of boxing with a ferocious display that saw the Australian fighter quit on his stool after 11 gruelling rounds, to the delight of his home crowd. It was also a night that has become even more poignant given his recent, tragic passing.
Available as an A2 framed print or an A2 print only.

Where the notes come from
Straight from the commentary box.
You're buying a print, not the original paper — and the value is in whose paper it was. We'd rather say that here than let you find out later.
- Supplied by the commentator who wrote it. We work with them directly, not the resale market.
- Reproduced, never recreated. Nothing retyped or tidied. The shorthand and corrections stay exactly where they fell.
- Signed editions are numbered. Selected prints are signed by hand and limited.
