Ricky Hatton's Life and Career

Born in October 1978, Hatton made his boxing debut at the young age of 11.

Nicknamed "The Hitman," Hatton had a record of 45 wins, 32 of which were by KO. He suffered three losses in his career.

His notable opponents include Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. He announced his retirement immediately after his match against Vyacheslav Senchenko in 2012.

He was due for a comeback fight, which was to take place in Dubai in December.
