Ricky Hatton ‘leaves £40million fortune’ to his three youngsters following boxer’s tragic loss of life aged 46

Late boxing champ Ricky Hatton left a fortune of £40million to his three children after his tragic death. 

The sportsman used his fight earnings to finance a string of businesses, according to The Sun, with many reportedly connected to property investments in his hometown of Hyde, as well as in Leicestershire, London and Kent. 

Hatton’s many investments mean his children Campbell, 24, Millie, 13, and Fearne, 12, will have a secure financial future. 

One source said that Hatton was ‘determined to ensure that he had a financial legacy from his incredible career’. 

‘Everyone who knew and loved Ricky would give anything to have him back. But during his life he’s done a great job of providing for the people he loved the most – his children’ the source added. 

The boxer, who tragically took his life in September, held multiple world titles and was renowned for his aggressive fighting style and resilience in the ring. 

An inquest heard in October that he was found hanged at his £1.7million home in Hyde by his manager. 

The former world champion had revealed his suicidal thoughts and problems with addiction in the past but his family have said he was in a ‘good place’ before his death.

His final post on Instagram showed him keeping fit in the gym ahead of a highly-anticipated return to the ring in December.

The Mancunian also filmed an uplifting video in his final week for a child who was the victim of bullying.

He was due to board a flight to Dubai just a day after his passing to sign a contract confirming his comeback to boxing with a bout against Eisa Al Dah.

Hatton’s manager said: ‘If this was 10 years ago, it wouldn’t have been as big a shock as it was.

‘I’ve been with Ricky to the very highest mountains in boxing to the lowest chasm in life.’

In a recent interview with The Times, the boxer’s grieving son opened up about struggling to even step into his father’s home following his death.

Reflecting on how ‘busy’ Hatton was just days before, Campbell said: ‘He was the best any of us have ever seen him’.
