At peace now after a troubled few years. My sympathy to his family.

Bloody hell he was only in his 50s.

He was only 46.

so sad for his family.

Sad news. Far too young. Thoughts are with his family.

Dartmoorcheffy · 14/09/2025 12:36

Sadly he has had substance addictions and suffered with mental health issues for many years but always came across as a nice bloke.

What a tragic waste

DiscoBob · 14/09/2025 12:40

Gawd. 46. 😞❤️
He had a very rollercoaster lifestyle. Like many boxers. Intense training and deprivation then periods of huge excess. It takes its toll.

RIP. Thoughts to his family and friends. X

Thanks, maybe because he was dating Claire Sweeney at one point I thought he was ages with her.
Didn't expect to read that this morning.

It's what boxing does to people.

GameOfJones · 14/09/2025 12:47

I was shocked about him being 46.....in my mind he seemed older. That really is no age.

DeeKitch · 14/09/2025 12:49

So sad

Newyearnewmewoooop · 14/09/2025 12:51

I'm not a fan of boxing (or any sport to be honest) but its so sad when someone dies so young

Highfivemum · 14/09/2025 13:02

So sad. He was a really lovely guy. Heartbreaking to hear the news

Pedallleur · 14/09/2025 13:05

Quite shocked at that. He and Claire were a surprise item. 46??? Thought he was older than that

QuoteOfTheDay · 14/09/2025 13:43

I've never really been into to boxing but ended up watching a documentary about him. It was really moving. And, if i remember correctly, he was ripped off and used by many around him (including his own parents). Throughout, he came across as a really nice guy. RIP

So sad to hear about the passing of Ricky Hatton.
He was a warrior who gave his all to his sport. I loved watching him box.
He never hid behind his demons and talked openly of his struggles with substance abuse and mental health.
Taken far, far too soon.RIP Ricky 💔

notacooldad · 14/09/2025 15:35

It is very sad news.
He had a history of depression and the demons followed him
Just awful.

It's what boxing does to people
Im not sure it was necessarily the boxing that was the problem.

brip · 14/09/2025 16:22

gosh, he was so young.
I had no idea he’d struggled with addiction and poor mental health.
