Ricky Hatton’s family turned out to be “excited in the future” and the day before his death, “I’m not alone in life.”
British boxing Great Hon was found dead in his house in Hyde on Sunday morning. He was 46 years old.
After that, the tribute poured across the boxing and sports world, remembering the career and life of the previous world champions.
In a statement published on Wednesday, his family expressed shock and said he was in a good place.
“We are all confused with the recent events,” he read. “According to all our knowledge, Richard was in a good place despite his documented struggle.
“He was excited about the future: His bag was ready to go to Dubai to promote a comeback fight, and his beloved girl Millie and Fearne were planning to celebrate Dubai.
“He was happy to see him fight for the first time. He was a grandfather and loved to spend time with Campbell and Lydia. Richard planned to spend more time in Te Nerreephe.”
Hatton, who talked about the fight with depression, was going to fight EISA AL DAH in Dubai on December 2.
He won 45 of 48 professional battles in amazing 15 years of experience, such as Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, and scored a famous victory with Kostya Tszyu.
“The pouring of the sorrow and love of the country and the world shows how much Richard was loved.”
“As time goes by, it will be something that gives us comfort and pride.”
Hatton’s son Campbell also went to social media to honor his late father.
“Everybody always said that I was two times. I never said sincerity. I looked at you from all aspects of life.”
“I can’t explain how much we will miss our laughter and all the good time. I will remember forever. We can’t believe it will no longer. I love you, dad.”
