“RIP Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton, 46. Found dead in his home in Manchester, police report no suspicious circumstances. What a horribly sad message.”

Former world champion Amir Khan wrote: “Today we lost not only one of Britain's best boxers but also a friend, a mentor, a warrior, Ricky Hatton.”

Post-career struggles

Ricky openly spoke about his struggles with alcohol and depression, but he managed to find a way back to normal life. His career lasted from 1997 to 2012, during which he won several world titles.

Despite the challenges, Ricky planned his return to boxing, demonstrating the importance of never giving up and inspiring others.
