“He was on my first professional struggle in history. When I fell over and the first contract we had with ITV, he worked on this fight with Mario Kindelan. He was always a very close friend and I always know, we keep in touch. He was at my wedding. He was at my wedding. We honestly lost a really good man, he was an amazing man, it’s really depressed.
“I hope his family is fine, my thoughts are with them. This is something that I never really expected at such a adolescent age. It is a shock that he died, he is a legend of sport. He was not just a professional boxer, he was also my friend. You could always talk to him and rub with him.
Many of the world heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, wrote on Instagram: “Rip to the legend of @rickyhatton maybe Rip. There will be only 1 Ricky Hatton. I can’t believe in such a adolescent one.”

“If the boxer can come out and say that they are fighting and crying every day, it will make a huge difference,” said BBC in 2020. “Passing through him, now I perceive it as my work to aid people suffering from mental health.”
Greater Manchester police said they didn’t treat his death as a suspect.

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).
