listening to this podcast only 4 days before Ricky passed away. Nothing in the podcasts suggested he was in trouble.

Ricky Hatton charity set up so 'no-one fights alone'

Ricky Hatton's son has said "no-one needs to fight alone" as he revealed plans by the former world champion's family and friends for a new mental health charity.

In a post on social media, Campbell Hatton said a foundation would be set up in his father's name to "carry on Ricky's spirit to help as many people as possible".

There was an outpouring of grief and tributes from across the world when the boxer, 46, was found dead in his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester last month.

Hatton's friends and family said they were determined to "channel our sadness into something powerful and positive".

A website created for the Ricky Hatton Foundation said the boxer was "open and honest about his own struggles with mental health".

"His courage in speaking about these challenges gave others the strength to share their own battles."

According to the website, the charity's missions include raising awareness of mental health challenges, removing the stigma around mental illness and offering direct support through talking therapies and community programmes.

Hatton's funeral will be held on Friday at Manchester Cathedral.

Mourners are also invited to join a procession which will begin at Cheshire Cheese in Hyde before it passes a number of other locations associated with the boxer.

Funeral today.

gonna be a procession too.

Be a busy day in Manchester.

I work 5 mins walking distance from Cathedral too

It's heartbreaking really. If Ricky could see the love he had from almost every boxing fan, family, and Manchester as a whole.

You know, mental health issues make you believe that you are better off dead.

Fly high Ricky lad.

He likely had brain damage and definitely had a coke addiction. It's the worst possible combination. No one can survive that. Even the toughest of men will break.

You'd think he would've had a day off for the funeral.

Agreed. Utter tit and very disrespectful.

Fury getting slated but apparently it was an in joke as Hatton took the piss out of Fury when he wore it

That's fair enough I suppose but Fury's so disingenuous I wouldn't be shocked if he was lying


Irregardless RIP to Ricky Hatton

A hard watch. Respect to Adam Smith. Must have been very difficult for him.

Hard to believe he’s gone so young. A truly vibrant working class lad who hit the heights. RIP Ricky Hatton.

Great eulogy from Adam Smith.
