Katie Price on her last meeting with Ricky Hatton: He was in good spirits.

According to The Sun: Katie Price shared a memory of a conversation with Ricky Hatton that took place just two weeks before his tragic death, noting that 'he seemed to be fine.'

The boxing legend Ricky was found dead in his home in Manchester at the age of 46, which came as a true shock to the sporting and cultural world.

Katie Price's Impressions

In her latest podcast, Katie, 47, talked about her meeting with Ricky, discussing the importance of mental health and promoting the product Supreme CBD.

She noted:

“Not even two weeks ago, when I was getting my CBD, I met up with Ricky Hatton, I saw him for the first time, and now he is no longer here.”

“I just can't believe it. He looked great and was such a lovely guy. I am in shock. Although I didn't know him closely, in those few hours we spent together, he seemed like a really nice person, and I'm very sad.”

Katie added:

“He was a year younger than me. He said many people suffer from mental health issues. He admitted he had been struggling for a long time. It's true: you can look great on the outside, but it's important what's on the inside.”

Katie's words echo a statement from Ricky's family, who said he was in 'a good place' and 'excited about the future' before his death.

Words from His Son

In a statement on Instagram, Ricky's son, Campbell, 24, expressed his grief:

“The phrase 'broken heart' doesn't even cover it.”

Campbell continued:

“Everyone always said I was your spitting image, and it's no lie. I always looked up to you in every aspect of life. I can't describe how much I'm going to miss our laughter and all those good moments that will stay in my memory forever.”

Ricky's mother, Carol, also honored the memory of her 'beautiful boy' by posting a series of photos on social media.

Sudden Grief

In a statement from the family, it was said that Ricky was looking forward to his daughters Millie and Fern seeing him fight live for the first time.

They emphasized: “We are all experiencing great grief due to the events of recent days. According to our information, despite his troubles, Richard was in a good place. He was excited about the future; his bag was [packed] for a flight to Dubai for a promotional return, and he planned to celebrate with his daughters.”

The family noted that Ricky was in touch with loved ones and his team 'in the days and weeks' before Sunday and dined with his daughters last Friday.

There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death, police confirmed, but news of his passing sparked considerable resonance.

Reflecting on memories of Richard, we can see what a strong figure he remained for many and how his life impacted others.

The family announced that details of the memorial service would be made known in due course.

The Legacy of Ricky Hatton

Ricky Hatton had a brilliant career spanning 15 years, securing victories over such boxing giants as Kostya Tszyu and José Luis Castillo. He won 45 of his 48 fights, becoming an important figure in boxing and actively promoting the importance of mental health.

Unfortunately, his death came just months after announcing a return to boxing. The family speaks of an 'immeasurable loss' that is hard to put into words.

“As a family, our loss is immeasurable, and words cannot truly express the pain we feel.”
