About Ricky Hatton

Richard John Hatton is a British former professional boxer who competed between 1997 and 2012 and has since worked as a boxing promoter and trainer. In his boxing career, he held multiple world championships at light welterweight and one at welterweight, as well as the IBO title in 2011. Boxing writer Garry Purcell rated Hatton as pound for pound the best British boxer since Ken Buchanan in 1971 and has been ranked by BoxRec as one of the greatest light-welterweight boxers of all time. In 2005 he was named Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year and shared the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award with Zara Phillips. Hatton reached a peak active boxing weight of 147 lb (67 kg; 10 st 10 lb) but usually fought at 140 lb (63.5 kg; 10 st 0 lb). Hatton was known for his highly aggressive, forward-moving style and relentless pressure fighting, which he applied to wear down and break down his opponents. He often referred to himself as "The Hitman", and had a tough upbringing in the tough Hyde section of Manchester. His promoters promoted him as "the pride of Manchester" and "the people's world champion".

Hatton has been involved in a number of high-profile fights. He defeated Kostya Tszyu for the IBF, Ring magazine, and lineal light welterweight titles in 2005, which was considered one of the greatest upsets in boxing history. Two years later he lost his light-welterweight crown to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in one of the highest-grossing pay-per-view boxing events ever. His subsequent defeat by Manny Pacquiao in 2009, after which he retired from boxing for a period of time, was widely considered to be one of the best fights of all time, as well as one of the most controversial decisions in boxing history. Hatton is ranked by BoxRec as the greatest British light welterweight of all time. In 2000 he was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, and in 2012 he was ring-inducted by the organization. The Ring magazine named him Fighter of the Year for 2005, and in 2006 he was voted by the Boxing Writers Association of America as their Fighter of the Year. The BBC named Hatton as Personality of the Year in 2005, and he was awarded an MBE for his services to boxing in 2006.

Hatton Promotions is a boxing promotional firm founded by former professional boxer Ricky Hatton. It is based in Manchester, England. The company was set up in 2008, following Hatton's retirement from boxing. The company's first event was a sell-out show at the MEN Arena in Manchester, which featured local boxer, Matthew Macklin. Hatton Promotions has gone on to promote a number of high-profile boxing events, both in the UK and internationally. These have included world title fights, and events featuring some of the biggest names in boxing, such as Manny Pacquiao, Amir Khan, David Haye, Carl Froch, and Kell Brook. In 2012, Hatton Promotions was named Promoter of the Year by The Ring magazine. Hatton is also a co-founder of the Manchester-based boxing gym, Hatton Academy. The gym opened its doors in 2010 and is now one of the biggest boxing gyms in Europe.
