I love you Richard 💙 See you on the other side X

I am extremely saddened to learn of the passing of British boxing legend Ricky Hatton. A superbly talented fighter who inspired a generation of young boxers and fans in a way very few had done before due to both his personality and the entertainment he provided in the ring. From making his debut Widnes in 1997 to then go on to win one of the most historic fights in British boxing history against Kostya Tszyu in Manchester, Ricky will rightly go down as one of the modern greats of this sport. My deepest condolences go out to his family at this awful time.

🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 Team Ireland’s Aoife O’Rourke has won World Boxing Championship gold. Ever dominant, Aoife was the unanimous decision winner over Turkey’s Busra Isildar Judges scored the bout 28:29, 27: 30, 27:30, 27: 30, 28: 29 Aoife, from Castlerea, is a double Olympian and four time continental champion. This is her second World medal this year – she claimed silver at the IBA Women’s Worlds in march. She fought her way to the final with victories over Czech Republic’s Monika Langerova, fellow Olympian, Norway’s Sunniva Hofstad and 2023 Word Champ China’s Chengyu Wang

Taken back 2017 when @HitmanHatton visited Galway. Rest in peace Ricky Hatton, It was an honour to meet one of my idols and a chat over pint of Guiness in Cooke’s Corner. My sincerest condolences to your family. #RickyHatton #Theresonlyonerickyhatton 🥊🙏🏼🩵
