“A member of the public called police officers to attend Bowlacre Road, Hyde, Tameside, today at 6:45, where they found the body of a 46-year-old man,” she said in a statement of the great Manchester. “There are no suspicious circumstances at the moment.”
Police would not reveal the identity of the man, but said they were working with his family to provide a press statement.
Hatton’s friends quickly paid tribute on Sunday morning.

“Rip to Legend Ricky Hatton May Rip,” said the former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in the post on Instagram, along with the couple’s photos. “There will ever be just 1 Ricky Hatton. I can’t believe it so young.”
The news of Hatton’s death comes two months after he announced that he would return to boxing in a professional fight against Eis al Dah in Dubai in December.
Hatton has won world titles in slight weight and velukat.
He became through amateur and domestic level, and at the height of his career he shared a ring with the best boxers of his generation, including Kostya Tszyu, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
Hatton’s ground floor behavior also provided him with fans around the world, and was open to mental health problems that he endured after retirement from the ring.
“Like fighters, we tell ourselves that we are strong – we train, we sweat, we take hits, we get up. But sometimes the most serious struggle happens in the mind,” Khan added X. “Mental health is not a weakness. It is part of man. And we have to talk about it. We have to turn. We have to rely on each other.”
Hatton became a coach, training Zhanat Zhakiyanova on the worldwide victory in the 2017 title in the 2017 category.
