Ricky Hatton’s wealth has been disclosed after his unexpected passing at the age of 46, leaving the boxing community in mourning. The renowned athlete was discovered deceased at his residence in Manchester. Hatton, who was set to make a comeback to the professional boxing scene after 13 years, had a scheduled match with Dubai’s Eisa Al Dah in December, a bout that would never materialize.
During his illustrious career as a World Boxing Champion, Hatton amassed a substantial fortune of £35 million, which is expected to be inherited by his family members, including his three children: Campbell, Millie, and Fearne. Campbell, Hatton’s eldest child, followed in his father’s footsteps by pursuing a career in boxing, making his debut in 2021 and achieving significant victories before transitioning to a different profession as a solar panel installer.
Hatton, who was a devoted father and grandfather, had maintained a close relationship with his children, ensuring financial security for them through various means. His assets, including a five-bedroom property in Hyde, Greater Manchester, reflect the success he achieved during his 15-year boxing tenure, where he secured 45 victories out of 48 matches.
Despite his retirement in 2012, Hatton continued to contribute to the boxing world by establishing Hatton Promotions to nurture emerging talents and the Hatton Boxing Academy to train future fighters. His family, devastated by his loss, described him as more than a boxing legend, emphasizing his humility, love for the sport, and lasting impact on society. They requested privacy to cope with their grief while acknowledging the outpouring of support from fans, assuring that Hatton’s legacy will endure through his contributions to boxing and as a compassionate individual.
