Ricky Hatton's next fight will be against Paulie Malignaggi for the IBO and IBF light-welterweight titles.

Hatton's father and manager, Ray Hatton, said a deal has been agreed with the American, who beat Lovemore N'dou on the undercard of Hatton's recent win over Juan Lazcano.

"We did the deal before the last fight. Malignaggi had to win and he did but he broke his hand," said Ray Hatton.

"The fight's likely to be in November. Where, we don't know at the moment."

Malignaggi beat N'Dou on a split points decision to retain his IBF light-welterweight title, and Hatton Sr said he did not think the American's hand injury would be much of a problem.
