Actress Claire Sweeney is among those grieving the death of former world boxing champion Ricky Hatton, who passed away aged 46 at his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester. Their relationship, which bloomed quietly after they reconnected during Dancing on Ice in 2024, lasted several months before ending earlier this year.
Hatton's demise was confirmed by Greater Manchester Police early on Sunday. Officers stated there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death. His record as 'The Hitman' remains formidable: in a 15-year professional career from 1997 to 2012, he won 45 of 48 bouts and held multiple world titles in the light-welterweight and welterweight divisions.
