"Former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton's comeback has moved closer after he appeared before boxing officials to ask for his licence back.
Hatton, 33, attended a British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) meeting in Cardiff on Wednesday and is set to hold a news conference on Friday.
General secretary Robert Smith told BBC Sport: "His licence will be granted pending the completion of medicals.
"He spoke well, looks fit and he wants to have one more hurrah."
Hatton, nicknamed 'The Hitman', has not fought since suffering a second-round knockout by Manny Pacquiao in May 2009."
