Yesterday was a bit of a blur and now I have got over the initial shock I am happy to join the many others with my tribute to Ricky. Ricky Hatton what can I say? He told me he grew up as a fan of mine I went to couple of his fights and we used to bump into each other on the circuit. When he retired and opened his gym in Manchester, I went up to train with him and spar a few times. He got involved with my charity & become an ambassador and we spoke numerous times about Mental Health, & depression mainly when we were in dressing rooms waiting to go on stage for shows. I would call that the quality 121 time we had. the other side to Rick he made me laugh so many times. There were so many comparable’ s in our life separated by 20 years both business and personal. He did not take himself too seriously. My life was enriched through knowing Ricky he was great fun to be around. The crowds used to sing “There’s only one Ricky Hatton” never truer words. There will never be another Ricky or anyone like him and at this time I share the shock and upset of losing what I consider to be a great fighter, a friend and an amazing human being.
