MAY I express my disgust with the fans of Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas. Their derision of the American national anthem was appalling.

I wanted a Hatton victory but, by your behaviour, you got your just deserts.

The people and the country welcomed your presence, and your booing of the flag was vile.

You did Hatton and your country no favours by your disrespect to your hosts.

RAY BUTLER, Denville Road, Blackburn.
