Boxer Hatton's Deepdale date cancelled
11:00am Wednesday 12th March 2008
An "Audience with Ricky Hatton" due to take place at Preston North End FC this Friday has been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.
The black-tie event with the champion boxer at Deepdale stadium is set to be re-arranged for a later date.
Everyone who has bought tickets will receive a full refund.
Organisers Heathcotes @ Deepdale plan to rearrange the event so fans can still see the Mancunian fight ace.
Lesley Shanks, of Heathcotes @ Deepdale, said: "We regret having to postpone the event with Ricky Hatton due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.
"We will rearrange the event so boxing fans will still have the opportunity to see such an interesting sporting personality.
"Any people who have already booked tickets will receive a full refund and they will be able to re-book when Ricky comes to Preston later in the year."
The Manchester fighter, who lost against Floyd Mayweather in a classic match up in Las Vegas in December, had agreed to appear at Deepdale to help raise cash for Detian House Children's Hospice, Astley Village, Chorley.
Tickets went on sale from £100.
People who have purchased tickets to require further information should call 01772 902010.
