The countdown to Ricky Hatton's return to Las Vegas begins on Sky Sports tonight.

We have the first of four special shows looking ahead to Saturday's Sky Box Office showdown with Paulie Malignaggi.

There will be an in-depth look at the Magic Man's career so far and we also look at the two superstar trainers pitting their wits against one another.

Buddy McGirt is the man in Malignaggi's corner - and predicting an easy win for his fighter - while Ricky's decision to switch to Floyd Mayweather Snr has been the major talking point in the build-up.

Jim Watt will be in the studio to give his expert view on both the trainers and the world's top two light-welterweights.

Out in Vegas, Ian Darke talks to Ray Hatton, Ricky's father and promoter, on how his son's preparations are going and any future plans.

We also drop in on Wayne McCullough, former world champion and close friend of Ricky's to get his thoughts on Saturday's big one.

As ever, is a family affair for the Hattons and there will also be a special feature on brother Matthew's tough welterweight test on the undercard, against one of Ricky's old foe's, Ben Tackie.

And finally, there is a look at the Prizefighters, who are back for their fourth airing on the London leg of the Hatton bill. We look back at the previous three tournaments and ahead to Saturday's, when it's time for the middleweights to strut their stuff.
