Ricky Hatton Found Dead At Home Aged 46
Devastating news today as boxing legend Ricky Hatton has been found dead at his home in Greater Manchester.
The former world champion, 46, was found at his address on Bowlacre Road in Gee Cross, Hyde.
A statement from the Greater Manchester Police read: ‘Officers were called by a member of the public to attend Bowlacre Road, Hyde, Tameside, at 6:45am today where they found the body of a 46-year-old man. There are not currently believed to be any suspicious circumstances.’
No cause of death confirmed as of yet, but we all know that Hatton had struggled with alcohol and drug abuse and depression for years. Almost certainly had CTE too. Hatton was known for his toughness and ability to withstand punch and punch. The guy could take hits to the head and keep fighting in a way almost nobody could.
Tributes have been pouring in…
Very sad to hear the news of Ricky Hatton not being with us anymore.
One of the best to do it. Inspired a generation.
Thoughts are with his family. ❤️— DT (@darrentill2) September 14, 2025
