nostalgia for Ricky Hatton

According to The Sun: Noel Gallagher paid tribute to Ricky Hatton, recalling one of the funny stories about his most famous fight.

During a meeting with Paul Malignaggi in Las Vegas in 2008, Hatton invited the Gallagher brothers to come up to the ring.

At the time, the boxer gave them this honorary mission - to bring their belts to the ring before the fight.

Noel shared his memory after the death of his friend Hatton, who recently passed away. He recounted how he argued with his brother Liam about who would wear which belt.

“We were in the city, and he said he was fighting in Vegas, and asked us, 'Will you wear the belts?'”

“Naturally, we agreed, but of course, Liam and I got into an argument about who would wear which belt, which lasted about four weeks.”

“But it was an incredible experience, a wonderful night in the ring. It was an amazing fight, and he won.”

“I will remember him as a fun guy. After the fight, we had an unforgettable night in Vegas, him and his friends.”

“His image as a witty guy is what he was! He always had a joke to make you laugh, and he will be greatly missed, as he was a pleasant and humble guy.”

Liam Gallagher also expressed his condolences and paid tribute to Ricky after hearing the news of his death.

“I am absolutely heartbroken to hear about Ricky Hatton's death.”

“For me, it was an honor to know him and wear his belts. Eternal champion, RIP LG x.”
