The 30-year-old has yet to make a decision on whether to retire following his crushing second-round knockout by Manny Pacquiao in May.

Hatton, recently released from hospital after a bad stomach bug, said: "I'm recharging the batteries with my family and what will happen (in the ring) will happen.

"The doctors just wanted to give me a basic MOT, on my heart, liver and lungs. I came through with flying colours - but I need to let my fans know not to panic."

As for the Pacquiao setback, Hatton revealed: "It went from the best training camp to the worst as far as my form is concerned. I felt we overcooked it and left too much in the gym.

"If one thing is making me think of a comeback it's that the training camp could have been better."

However, the Hyde-based boxer does not believe a bout against Amir Khan is a likely proposition.

Earlier this month Bolton's Khan won the WBA light-welterweight title with victory over Andreas Kotelnik, further fuelling talk of a showdown between the two fighters.

Hatton added on Sky Sports News: "It's not even a starting point if Frank Warren is going to promote it.

"I don't want to go down that line, although I'm not saying it's never going to happen."
