Ricky Hatton will not be fighting Oscar de la Hoya this year, according to Hatton's father and manager.

Six-weight world champion De la Hoya was set to fight Floyd Mayweather in September before the latter's retirement announcement on Friday.

This led to reports that Hatton would fill the void, but Ray Hatton said his son needed more time to prepare.

"An approach has been made but it would be too soon, Richard only fought two weeks ago," Hatton Sr told BBC Sport.

"Oscar likes to fight in September because of Mexican Independence Day, but Richard's chilling out at the moment and doing dad things."

He added that Mayweather's decision to retire would not affect his son's career and that he remained focused on a November match-up with IBF light-welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi.

"We always said to Floyd, you know where we are if you want the fight, but no massive plans have gone out of the window because of his retirement," said Hatton Sr.

"Obviously, Richard would have liked to have gone over that ground again because he thinks he never gave it his best shot in the first fight. If Mayweather beat him again, he could live with that.

"And you can never say never with Floyd, maybe if the money was there in 12 months he would change his mind.

"But the Mayweather fight was only one fight that people were talking to us about and as far as Richard is concerned, he's geared up to fight Paul Malignaggi in November.

"A few things still have to be tied up in terms of a venue and TV. Richard would like to fight at Madison Square Garden [in New York], but we have to look at the financial implications.

"In Richard's last fight [Hatton beat Juan Lazcano by unanimous decision at the City of Manchester Stadium] money didn't come into it because he wanted it in England for the fans.

"But obviously if Las Vegas came into it, or a Canadian city [Toronto's 68,000 capacity Sky Dome is another possible venue] then money has to come into play with Richard coming towards the end of his career."
