Huge net value of Ricky Hatton from boxing and Claire Sweeney Romance when he dies at the age of 46
Published
10 months agoon
The world of boxing is shocked after a breakthrough news that Ricky Hatton died tragically at the age of 46. Hatton’s body was found in his house in Stockport, and the police issued a statement on Sunday.
A spokesman for the Greater Manchester said: “The officers were called by a member of society to take part in Bowlakre Road, Hyde, Tameside, at 6:45 am, where they found the body of a 46-year-old man. They are not considered suspicious circumstances.” Gloomy news about Hatton’s death appears only two months after he announced his sport plan, over a decade from the last professional duel. The former world champion in airy and welterweight, who retired in 2012, confirmed that he would face the warrior of the United Arab Emirates Eisa Al Dah in the average clash in Dubai on December 2 this year.
Hatton was one of the most beloved boxers in Great Britain. He combined world titles in airy and welterweight, and his relentless fighting style made him a real favorite of fans, and fans follow him around the world.
He strengthened amateur and national ranks to challenge the best boxers, including Kostya Tyu, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Hatton’s former personality also won him fans around the world, and he was open to the fight for mental health he met after withdrawing from sport.
He defeated the family split and a legal battle with former coach Billy Graham to establish a successful coach, leading Zhakiyanova to the global glory of Bantamweight in 2017. And his celebrity status survived long after he hung the gloves.
After retiring from the ring, a warrior born in Manchester remained in the spotlight, often paying attention to his loving nature and reports next to his Pugilistic heritage.
Romance from Claire Sweeney
Last year, he enjoyed an affair with the British actress and television personality Claire Sweeney, who gained the attention of the public. The 53 -year -old Coronation Street star discussed her relationship during the ITV interview in July 2024.
“I have known Ricky for 25 years,” she revealed. “For the first time I met him in La Manga at the beginning of 2000, then we danced together for the comic relief in 2013, and then we met on ice dance and is great. It makes me laugh and we both like fools and horses, so what not to like!”
The couple who had an appointment for almost a year found love while fighting ice dance. They finally split up, but the other friends.
Hatton’s huge earnings
“The Hitman” understood that he had accumulated a wealth of about 35 million pounds, mainly thanks to his successful 15-year-old boxing career, which caused 45 wins of 48 duels and titles both in a welterweight and a lightweight semi-edge division. It is believed that his main clashes with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, especially this last meeting, significantly increased his finances, and sources indicating that Pacquiao earned 15 million pounds.
Life after retiring
After retiring, Hatton remained busy, moving to the business world. He founded Hatton Promotions to develop the resulting boxing talent and founded the Hatton Boxing Academy, which provides various training programs for both beginner boxers and fitness enthusiasts.
Hatton also achieved significant success as a trainer, in particular, leading Zhanata Zhakiyanova to the title of WBA Bantamweight in 2017 and working with Tyson Fury, when the heavyweight champion in the Ring Fights magazine returned in May 2018. While he decided that leaving a professional boxing meant the loss of this insufficient excitement of the fight, Hatton in Coaching Fighters.
“Many people say when they retire, they miss the fight. I don’t think so,” said Hatton once. “Now I feel joyful with it, but I know that I don’t have it now. I still get a bit of what I got as a warrior through training.”
Hatton also played a significant role in his son Campbell’s career, who became an essential part of his life after withdrawing from sport. Campbell Hatton, only 24 years with 16 professional duels under the belt, was managed by brother Ricky Matthew, until they parted after the first professional defeat of Campbell with James Flint.
Then Ricky entered to support his son in a managerial role, their relationship strengthened mutual respect and a common passion for boxing. But Ricky’s journey, both during his career and in retirement, was not without challenges.
He fought depression, addiction and a feeling of disappointment, especially after thunderous losses of Mayweather and Pacquiao. The defects caused a spiral down, which led to massive drinking, abuse of substances and several suicide attempts.

Lewis Crocker vs. Liam Paro – large fight preview and predictions
Published
2 weeks agoon
June 23, 2026
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).
