Hatton was found dead in his residence at the age of 46.

Hitman survived many fights for mental health during his career, but he was preparing to return to the ring this year. After its creation, as one of the most beloved fighters in Great Britain, Hatton faced Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, suffering from defeat in both competitions.

Recently, he overcame the battle with depression and returned to junior high school to trainers. On Tuesday evening, Campbell turned to social media to share a deeply personal tribute to his deceased father. “A frozen heart is not a word,” he wrote.

“In the wider world, Richard will always be remembered as one of the biggest boxing champions-man who gave everything in the ring and wore his heart on his sleeve outside him. He inspired generations with his fighting spirit, humility and love for this sport. But apart from titles, nights to remember, and roar of the crowd, he remained down Richard, who never stayed.

“As a family, our loss is immeasurable, and words can not really capture the pain we feel. However, among our regret we were deeply moved by overwhelming the outflow of love and support. It was a source of great consolation to see how much life Richard touched, and how widely admired and respected.

“At the moment, we kindly ask for privacy when we reconcile with life without him. In the coming days and weeks we will take strength and knowledge that Richard’s heritage – both in boxing and as a man – will continue to live. Richard’s memory will remain in our hearts forever, in the hearts of his fans, and so much.

The condolence message flooded in the Hatton residence in Hyde and on social platforms after confirming his death. The circumstances around how Hatton – who grew up in a brothel at the Hattersley Council estate – met at its end, remained unclear, although the police confirmed that there were no suspicious circumstances.

Oleksandr Usyk defended his world title in Riyad, defeating kickboxing icon Rico Verhoeven in the 11th round.

Verhoeven turned out to be a much tougher test for Usyk than many expected.

From the first bell, the Dutchman proved to be a problem, firing two tidy shots – one from above straight into the champion’s jaw, and the other a nasty shot to the body.

To the surprise of many, Verhoeven dominated most of the fight, with many viewers scoring just two or three rounds in favor of the Ukrainian.

Not only was Verhoeven in control, but he appeared to have hurt Usyk on numerous occasions, who looked nothing like the elusive champion we had become so accustomed to over the years.

Verhoeven went down in the 11th minute and went over the count before the referee led him to the corner to adjust his mouthpiece.

Ten seconds into the penultimate round, Usyk launched a brutal attack that injured Verhoeven, but he continued to fight. Nevertheless, the referee stepped in at 2:59 of the 11th round and called off the fight.

Many were outraged by the stoppage, with Derek Chisora ​​calling it a “assault” and Ryan Garcia believing the round was already over by the time the referee stepped in.

In an in-ring interview after his victory, Usyk admitted that his opponent was right.
