    Former world boxing champion Ricky Hatton has spoken of his 'disgust' at his alleged binge drinking and drug taking but insisted he did not have a problem.

    The 31-year-old, who is to be investigated by police over allegations he snorted cocaine in a hotel room, was admitted to a rehabilitation clinic on Monday.

    Hatton, who was secretly filmed taking what is alleged to be lines of the class A drug on a night out, gave a candid interview in which he revealed his anger and pledged to fight and win his way back to health.

    Speaking to the News of the World he said: 'I'm so angry I could knock myself out.

    'I'm disgusted at myself for what I have done. I've had a wonderful career and am furious that I have tarnished it.'

    Hatton, however, insisted he did not have a problem.

    He said: 'I'm not the slightest bit worried about the cocaine. Problem? What problem?'

    He added: 'I have dabbled with the drug on a few sparing occasions. The only time I have ever done it is when I have been so depressed or drunk that it's a case of, 'Go on then'.'
