Former boxing world champion Ricky Hatton, who tragically passed away in September, has left behind a remarkable £40 million legacy for his three children. Known for his prowess in the ring, Hatton also had the foresight to invest his earnings into a thriving property empire, ensuring long-term financial security for his family.
Discovered at his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, by his manager and close friend Paul Speak, Hatton’s untimely passing has left a void in the world of British sport. He is survived by his children Campbell, 24, Millie, 13, and Fearne, 12, who now inherit a wealth of assets that stretch from their hometown to Leicestershire, London, and Kent.
Ricky’s commitment to building a “financial legacy” continues to resonate, even as the nation mourned his loss with an outpouring of love and admiration. Fans filled the streets of Manchester for his October funeral, with a touching service held at Manchester Cathedral. Among the mourners were notable figures like Tyson Fury, Tony Bellew, Frank Bruno, Andrew Flintoff, and Wayne Rooney.
Campbell, Ricky’s son, candidly shared his reflections on Good Morning Britain, describing the overwhelming support as “unbelievable.” The sheer volume of fans who lined the streets provided a comforting reminder of the impact Ricky had on so many, both in and out of the ring. His family continues to take things day by day, buoyed by the incredible legacy and the enduring love shown by fans.
Ricky Hatton may have hung up his gloves, but his legacy lives on—a testament to a man who cherished his fanbase as much as his titles. His life and career will forever be remembered for the passion and dedication he exhibited, both for his family and his beloved sport. Rest in peace, Champ. 🥊💙
