<\/a><\/p>\nInquest to Examine Circumstances Surrounding Hatton\u2019s Death<\/p>\n
Police have confirmed that there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding Hatton\u2019s death. However, the case has been referred to the coroner, and an initial inquest hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Thursday, October 16, at South Manchester Coroners\u2019 Court in Stockport. The proceedings will be overseen by senior coroner Alison Mutch.<\/p>\n
Opening hearings typically focus on confirming the deceased\u2019s identity and outlining the basic circumstances of their death. The coroner will then decide whether a full inquest is required, which could delve deeper into medical evidence, witness statements, and any other relevant information.<\/p>\n
Hatton\u2019s passing has left the boxing community in shock. Known as \u201cThe Hitman,\u201d he became a national hero in the 2000s with world titles at light-welterweight and welterweight and unforgettable bouts against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. His aggressive fighting style and down-to-earth personality made him one of the UK\u2019s most popular sports figures.<\/p>\n
Friend Recalls Discovering Hatton\u2019s Body<\/p>\n
Hatton\u2019s longtime friend and manager Paul Speak discovered his body at the boxer\u2019s home after arriving to take him to the airport for a planned trip to Dubai. Speak described the heartbreaking moment to Boxing News: \u201cThe lights weren\u2019t on, which I thought was strange. I went inside \u2013 I have a key \u2013 shouting, \u2018Rick, Rick, wake up!\u2019 I heard music upstairs, so I went up\u2026 I took a look at him and had to take some time to process it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speak said he was \u201cin a state of shock and confusion\u201d as he called police and paramedics. \u201cBut I firmly believe he didn\u2019t intend to do it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s for the coroner to determine, but he had it all to live for.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Speak, Hatton had been \u201cin a really good place\u201d before his death. \u201cHe\u2019d arranged to take his daughters to see Oasis next week. He was planning to go to Thailand for the WBC convention and had just booked a flight to Tenerife for Christmas,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n
Family Pays Emotional Tributes at Funeral<\/p>\n
Hatton\u2019s funeral was held at Manchester Cathedral, where his children delivered heartfelt eulogies. His 13-year-old daughter Millie shared a poignant message, asking, \u201cWhy did you feel that way? Why didn\u2019t you reach out about how you felt?\u201d<\/p>\n
She spoke about the milestones her father will now miss: \u201cI can\u2019t help but think about how you will never walk me down the aisle, how you will never meet my children, how you won\u2019t be here to see me leave school or grow into an adult.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her message ended with words of unconditional love: \u201cI genuinely hope you don\u2019t ever think you have let me down, because I would never think that. I love and miss you unconditionally.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the inquest approaches, family, friends, and fans hope it will provide answers and clarity about Ricky Hatton\u2019s cause of death. Until then, the boxing world continues to mourn the loss of one of its most charismatic and beloved champions.<\/p>\n
