WORLD champion boxer Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton has donated his gloves to raise money for charity.

Taunton's Winchester Arms pub has been donated the prized possessions and will be raffling them off during the night of the big fight between Hatton and Floyd Mayweather Junior for the title of WBC Welterweight champion of the world.

On December 8, during the fight, 100 people will be given the chance to enter the raffle for the gloves.

If Hatton wins the big fight then the value of the gloves could soar to somewhere in the region of £1,000.

To get tickets for the evening and to be in with a chance of winning the gloves pop into the Winchester Arms in Taunton.
