Ricky Hatton, the legendary British boxer known for his fierce fighting spirit and world championship titles, has tragically passed away at the age of 46. His body was discovered at his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, on Sunday morning (14 September).
Greater Manchester Police confirmed the discovery after being called to Bowlacre Road, Hyde, at 6:45 AM by a member of the public. Authorities have stated that there are no signs of suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
Hatton, who was born in Stockport, had a storied boxing career that saw him capture multiple world championships and UK titles, earning him the title of Fighter of the Year in 2015. Despite his success in the ring, he faced personal struggles, including battles with mental health and addiction. His transparency in discussing these issues helped inspire many, and he even survived multiple suicide attempts and a strained relationship with his family, one he later reconciled after seeking help for his mental well-being.
The news of his death comes as a shock, especially following his announcement earlier this year that he would be making a comeback to boxing with a fight scheduled for December. He had planned to return to the sport he dominated for years, a testament to his enduring love for the sport and his resilient character.
Hatton, who would have turned 47 in October, was widely regarded as one of the UK's finest boxers, and his legacy in the sport will remain a lasting inspiration. Fans and fellow athletes alike have expressed their grief and tributes, with many remembering him as not only a champion in the ring but also a man who overcame immense personal challenges.
His death leaves a profound void in the boxing world, and while the cause remains unknown, his impact on the sport and the lives of those who followed his journey will not be forgotten.
