Everything we know about Ricky Hatton’s cause of death ahead of modern inquest

Unexpected death: Former two-division boxing world champion Ricky Hatton was found dead at his residence in Hyde, Greater Manchester, on Sunday, September 14, 2025. His death at the age of 46 shocked the sporting world and sparked a huge outpouring of tributes from fans and fellow athletes.
Discovery by a close friend: His longtime manager and friend, Paul Speak, found Hatton unresponsive. The pair were due to travel to Manchester Airport for a trip to Dubai, where Hatton was to promote a future exhibition fight.
Lead to death: The court heard Hatton’s family last saw him on September 12, when he appeared well and in good spirits. Concerns grew when he missed a scheduled event on Saturday, which ultimately led to the child’s well-being being checked the next morning.
Police findings: Greater Manchester Police arrived at the scene at around 6.45am after being alerted by Mr Speak. After an initial investigation at the home, officials determined there was no evidence of foul play or third-party involvement.
Provisional cause of death: At the opening of the inquest in October, Manchester South Senior Coroner Alison Mutch revealed the provisional cause of death. The court was told that the legendary boxer probably died by hanging.
Inquiry details: The first hearing, held at Stockport Coroner’s Court on October 16, lasted only ten minutes and marked the formal opening of the inquest. Police Coroner’s Officer Alison Catlow gave a brief chronology of Hatton’s final days before the case was adjourned.
Manchester Monument: Hatton’s funeral service was held on October 10 at Manchester Cathedral, preceded by a public procession that drew thousands of mourners into the streets. The funeral procession, which included his famed ‘Trotters’ van, stopped at the Etihad Stadium to pay a final tribute to his love of Manchester City.
Goals of the March hearing: A full and comprehensive investigation is scheduled for March 20, 2026 to review all available evidence. This is intended to establish final conclusions about the circumstances of his death.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.

Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.

Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.

Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.

Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.

The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva

Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.

McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.

Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.

Undercard remaining

At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.

Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.

Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.

Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
