The wealth of boxing legend Ricky Hatton has been disclosed following his sudden death at the age of 46. The boxing community was left in a state of grief after the iconic sportsman was discovered dead at his Manchester home in September 2025.
In a statement read on behalf of his mum Carol at his inquest today, she told how she had last seen her son just two days before he died. She said the star had talked about returning to the ring and selling his house, but noted that his 'eyes were sad'.
The beloved World Boxing Champion who 'had a heart as big as his smile' had an illustrious career, motivating countless budding boxers along the way. During his tenure in the ring, the late sporting legend accumulated a wealth of £35 million which his family members inherited.
The star's millions are set to be passed down to his relatives, including his three children: Campbell, 25, Millie, 13, and Fearne, 12. 'The Hitman' became a father for the first time at the age of 22, welcoming Campbell after a brief reunion with his ex-girlfriend, Claire. At this stage in his life, Ricky was still a rising star, but he is believed to have set up a trust fund for his son, ensuring he would receive a portion of his earnings.
Campbell inherited his father's impressive boxing abilities and turned professional in 2021. He remained unbeaten through his first 14 fights before suffering consecutive losses to James Flint in 2024. In a bid to revive his career, he brought his legendary father on board as his trainer in March, but just four months later, the younger Hatton announced his retirement from boxing, opting instead to pursue a career as a solar panel installer.
Today, he told the court his father was 'very happy, always very laid back, except when it came to sport'. 'He lived his life in and out of the ring at a hundred per cent and as he always said he never regretted it,' Campbell said. He added that his father was 'fearless' and was 'always generous with people around him' but had issues with his mental health. But before his death, he felt his father 'had been in the best place he had been in for years.'
