The son of boxer Ricky Hatton delivered a moving speech at his father's funeral.

The sad farewell ceremony of Ricky Hatton

According to The Sun: Campbell, the son of Ricky Hatton, delivered a tribute to his late father during his funeral while in tears.

The legend of British boxing died at the age of 46. His body was found on September 14 at his parents' home in Hyde, Greater Manchester.

Four days after Ricky would have celebrated his 47th birthday, his funeral procession began from the Cheshire Cheese pub to Manchester Cathedral, where family and friends had gathered.

The procession passed by the AO Arena, where the two-time champion had his most memorable fights, as well as his parents' old pub and the Manchester City Club stadium.

During the emotional ceremony, Campbell Hatton delivered an emotional eulogy for his father while trying to hold back his tears.

“Father and son had never had so much in common. I looked up to my father in every situation in life. All of this was nourished by the love I had for him and will always have. I can't explain how much I will miss you, Dad. I can't believe we won't create any new memories together. But the ones I have, I will cherish forever.”

Those in attendance included Tyson Fury, Tony Bellew, Fraser Clarke, Liam Gallagher, Claire Sweeney, Freddie Flintoff, and the Rooney family.

The procession and memorial service

The funeral procession began at 9:45 AM, accompanied by a Reliant Regal car in honor of Ricky's collection of memorabilia.

The former world champion was a big fan of the popular sitcom “Only Fools and Horses” and had once bought an original three-wheeler for £4,000.

Ricky's brother Matthew was seen at the funeral home, accompanied by floral tributes reading “Hitman”.

The memorial service took place at the cathedral, where thousands of fans gathered on the streets to show their support.

During his illustrious 15-year career, Ricky won four world titles in lightweight and welterweight and left his mark in the history of British boxing.
