LIAM AND Noel Gallagher will carry Ricky Hatton's boxing belts into the ring ahead of his fight in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The Oasis brothers, who are good friends with the two-time IBF and IBO Light Welterweight Champion, will carry his IBO and Ring Magazine belts before he squares up to rival boxer Paulie Malignaggi at the MGM Grand Hotel.
And Hatton said he also wanted to have them play live in the ring until scheduling issues scuppered his idea.
According to the Sun, the 30-year-old Manchester-born boxer said: "I'd be happy to let them put on a performance but maybe after this fight and possibly for a future fight. "I'm sure they would love it and I'm sure we could look at it at a future date. "When I think of the most important things in my life, there's my family first and Campbell my son, then I've got boxing, next comes Manchester City, then it's Oasis."
Hatton introduced Oasis onstage when they kicked off their UK arena tour in Liverpool in October.
