Ricky, who was 46, was found dead in his home in Gee Cross, Greater Manchester, on September 14.

“I’m so proud of my father that it’s hard to put into words, not just his boxing career and unique fan base, but how happy we all were when we were together.”
“I can’t explain how much I will miss you, dad. I’m shattered that we can’t make new memories, but the ones we have, I will always cherish.”
In the conclusion of his speech, Campbell emphasized:
