But sometimes the most difficult struggle is quietly, in mind. Mental health is not weak. It’s a part of being human. And we have to talk about it. We must reach. We have to lean against each other.

Ricky, thanks for everything. For your fights, your victory moments, your sand. Thank you for pushing us and showing us what is possible.

“ To everyone who reads this: If you suffer or fight, you are not alone. To talk. Lie down. Because we need more light, more compassion, more understanding. Good rest, Ricky. You will always have a place in the ring of our memories. ‘

Sky Sports experts were asked from Micah Richards and Roy Keane from their thoughts that they heard the news shortly before it was broadcast to broadcast live.

Richards said: ‘The news is destructive, frankly we just bought it half an hour ago. I was surprised to be honest because he’s a icon. British icon, boxing, sports, a real man a city fan, but most importantly, he was a man of the people.

“ He was the most beautiful man so far, I remember going to one of the gyms and I was a little nervous because I really didn’t know the boxing. This was before the inheritance that Man City was not what they are now. For time and effort … I’ve been just talking to him about football and life.

Keane added: ‘The man was an absolute warrior, and I think fans liked to watch him in that ring. We know how hard the sport is. God, he gave everything for that sport, and that’s why the fans liked to follow him. There were a series of fights in America and thousands of travel because they thought very high. ‘

Ricky was one of City’s most popular and respected supporters, which will always be remembered for a glittering box career that sees that he has always gained world titles in a fascinating and open weight. Everyone in the club wants to send our condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time. Today’s game against Manchester United can confirm that the game will be a minute of appreciation. ‘

Piers Morgan reacted by writing: ‘RIP Rick’ Hitman ‘Hatton, 46. He was found dead in his home in Manchester, there was no suspicious condition. What incredibly sad news. ‘

In 1997, Ricky will rightly go down as one of the modern elders of this sport to continue to win the first Widnes in 1997, to continue to win one of the most historical fights in British boxing history against Kostya Tszyu in Manchester. His deepest condolences goes to his family at this terrible time. ‘

Then he went to GB News: ‘Only terrible. He was 46 years old and was still a young man. I don’t know what the situation is, but it’s a terrible thing. Not only a boxing symbol, but also a sport symbol was the British sports symbol. He was a man of people, I remember him when I signed him at the age of 18, and he sold three or five tickets for his first fight, finally went to Las Vegas and took 30,000 British to watch him. What you saw was what you had with Ricky, a cute, cute man. He was a fan of a fan, a man, he would go down the pub with them. He was a big Manchester City fan and I hope they would pay tribute in Derby because he was Manchester. ‘

Chris Eubank Jr and Hatton’s former rival Manny Pacquiao sent condolences and the legend of the Philippine said: ‘I was very sorry that I heard Ricky Hatton’s passing. He was not just a great warrior in the ring, but also a brave and kind man in life. We shared unforgettable moments in boxing history and I will always honor his respect and sporty.
